AE 365c
..."peace" in the internal sense of the Word signifies the Lord and thence heaven and eternal life....
[12] Again in Moses:--
Jehovah bless and keep thee;
Jehovah make His faces to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee;
and Jehovah lift up His faces upon thee, and give thee peace. (Numbers 6:24-26)
Divine truth, from which is all intelligence and wisdom, with which the Lord flows in,
is meant by "Jehovah makes His faces to shine upon thee;"
and protection thereby from falsities
is meant by "Be gracious unto thee;"
and the Divine good, from which is all love and charity, with which the Lord flows in,
is meant by "Jehovah lift up His faces upon thee;"
and protection thereby from evils, and thence heaven and eternal happiness,
are meant by "give thee peace;"
for when evils and falsities are removed and no longer infest, the Lord flows in with peace, in which and from which is heaven and the delight that fills with bliss the interiors of the mind, thus heavenly joy. (This benediction may also be seen explained above, no. 340b.)
