Arcana Coelestia #898
898. 'And behold, the face 1 of the ground was dry' means regeneration. This is clear from the meaning of 'the ground', dealt with in several places already, as the member of the Church. 'The face 1 of the ground' is said to be 'dry' when falsities were apparent no longer.
Imibhalo yaphansi:
1. literally, the faces
