AC 6752 [8]
As Moses represented the law, he was allowed to enter in unto the Lord on Mount Sinai, and not only to receive the tables of the law there, but also to hear the statutes and judgments of the law, and to deliver them to the people; and it is also said that "from this, they should believe in Moses forever;"
Jehovah said unto Moses,
Lo. I come unto thee in the thickness of the cloud,
that the people may hear when I speak with thee,
and may also believe in thee forever.
(Exodus 19:9)
it is said "in the thickness of the cloud"
because by a "cloud" is meant the Word in the letter,
and from this when Moses entered in unto the Lord on Mount Sinai,
it is said that he "entered into the cloud".
(... a "cloud" denotes the literal sense of the Word...)
