5479. 'And he turned away from them' means somewhat of a withdrawal. This is clear from the meaning of 'turning away from them', when it has reference to the inflow of good from the Divine or the Lord, as somewhat of a withdrawal. For the Lord never turns away from anyone, but He does regulate the inflow of good as a man's or angel's state requires. This regulating is what is meant by a withdrawal.
