Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 5911

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

5911. 'And you shall be near me' means an everlasting joining together. This is clear from the meaning of 'being near' as an everlasting joining together; for 'coming to Joseph' means a joining together, 5909, and therefore 'being near him', constantly near him, is an everlasting joining together.
