Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 6722

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

6722. 'And she could not hide him any longer' means the time when it had to be seen. This is clear from the meaning of 'being hidden' as not being seen, dealt with immediately above in 6721, so that 'not being hidden any longer' means being seen. The reason why the time when it had to be seen is meant is that 'the three months' in which he remained hidden meant a complete period of time from start to finish, see immediately above in 6721.
