Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 992

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

992. 'Into Your hands let them be given' means possession of them by the internal man within the external. This is clear from what has been stated already and from the meaning of 'hand', dealt with already in 878. The phrase 'into your hands let them be given' is used because that is what seems to happen.
