1958. 'Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bared' means its nature, that is to say, He saw what the nature of this truth was, and so what the nature of the rational was. This is clear from the meaning of 'Kadesh and Bared'. That 'Kadesh' means truth, and also conflicts over truths, has been shown already in 1678. 'Bared' however means that which is below, and so means true factual knowledge, from which also the rational is formed. As regards names in the Word meaning real things, see 1876, 1888, 1889, and also 1224, 1264.
