9308. Lest thou provoke him. That this signifies a turning away from Him through falsities from evil, is evident from the signification of "provoking," or exciting anger, when said of the Lord, who is "the angel" here, as being a turning away through falsities from evil; for falsities from evil are turnings away from the Lord (see n. 4997, 5746, 5841).
