6253. 'And he said, Bring them now to me' means so that they may draw near to spiritual good. This is clear from the meaning of 'bringing them to him' as so that they may draw near; and from the representation of Israel, to whom they were to draw near, as spiritual good, dealt with in 5801, 5803, 5806, 5812, 5817, 5819, 5826, 5833.
