Arcana Coelestia #4716
4716. 'And he came to Shechem' means knowledge of the general aspects of doctrine. This is clear from the meaning of 'Shechem' as the broad outlines - or what amounts to the same, general aspects - of doctrine which are received first, dealt with in 4707.
Isaiah 22:1
1
The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?
