6504. 'And the physicians embalmed Israel' means the action taken to preserve good springing from truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'embalming' as a means of preservation from corruption, dealt with of immediately above in 6503, here the carrying out of such preservation since it states that they did embalm him; from the meaning of 'the physicians' as preservation from evils, dealt with above in 6502; and from the representation of 'Israel' as spiritual good, which is the same as good that springs from truth, also dealt with above, in 6499.
