4160. 'Let there not be any anger in my lord's eyes, for I cannot rise up before you', means that they are unable to be revealed. This too becomes clear from the train of thought in the internal sense, and is consequently clear without any further explanation. For 'rising up' would amount to an uncovering, and consequently a revealing, of the truths which are meant by 'the teraphim'. So 'being unable to rise up' means that they were unable to be revealed.
