Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 5346

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

5346. 'Until he left off numbering, because it was beyond number' means such as holds the celestial from the Divine within it. This becomes clear from the fact that truth holding the celestial from the Divine within it is unbounded and beyond number. This kind of truth has existed with no one except the Lord, when He was in the world - the Lord being represented here by 'Joseph' and the glorification of His Natural being the subject here in the highest sense.
