4881. And she arose. That this signifies elevation, is evident from the signification of "arising," as involving some elevation (n. 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171, 4103). The elevation which is signified by "arising" is in the spiritual sense an elevation from an obscure state into a clearer one, as from a state of ignorance into one of intelligence; for in this way man is elevated from a state of the light of the world into a state of the light of heaven.
