2061. * # # Some who had been raised up into the inward heaven while I was reading Deut. 3 from beginning to end, and who understood it in its spiritual meaning, declared after I had read it that there was not even a point in which there was not a spiritual meaning, in coherent series, so that all the details, even the most minute, were inspired, and every single word there, and the names of men, symbolize things, entirely following the series of events in the Word. This they corroborated and, in fact, said they would do so bindingly, by oath, but it was not permitted. 1748, 23 May. * The original indicates that 2061 is to be inserted after 2059.
