 same as the seventh d. (See Hosea vi. 2, 8.) 93. T. d. (Gen. xxii. 4) S. what was complete and a beginning of sanctification. For d. in the Word s. state as does also year, and in general all times, as hour, day, week, month, year, age, and likewise morning, midday, evening, night; and spring, summer, autumn, winter; to wbich when t. is added, it s. the end of that state, and at the same time the beginnivg of the following state. In the interval sense of the Word, three days and the t. d. s. the same thing. That the Lord rose again ou the t. d. is well known; it was on this account also that the Lord distinguished the times of his life into three, as in Luke xiii. 32. The Lord also endured the last temp- tation, which was that of the cross, on the t. hour of the d. (Mark xv. 25.) Hence, and especially from the Lord's resurrection on the t. d., the number three was rep. and s. But t. part s. somewhat not as yet full, whereas t. and threefold s. what is complete, and this in respect to evil, as applied to the evil, and in respect to good as applied to the good. 2788. A t. part implies the same as three, and also a t. part of a t. part. 904. T. part (Apoc. xii. 4) s. somewhat not as yet full.

(Exod. xxiv. 7.) T. are pred. of truths and falses, and f. of goods and evils. (See Exod. xx. 5.) 10.624.

Thirst, to. (John xix. 28.) The l'eason why the Lord said, It., was because he desired a new church, which should acknowledge him; for to t., in a spiritual sense, s. to desire, and is pred. of the truths of the church. A.E. 83. By t. and thirsting is also s. to perish for want of truths. A. R. 956. See Hunger and Thirsi.

THIRTELx, as between twelve and fourteen, den. the intermediate state. 1668. As the compound of ten and three den, remains. 2108.

THIRTEEN YEARS (Gen. xvi. 20) s. a state of holy remains. 2109.

THIRTEENTH YEAR (Gen. xiv.) s. the beginning of the Lord's temp tations in childhood. 1668.

THIRTY, in the Word, s. somewhat of combat, and it also 8. what is full of reinains; the reason why it has this twofold B. is, because it is com- pounded of five and six multiplied into each other, and also of three and ten multiplied likewise into cach other; from five multiplied into six, it s. somewhat of combat, because five s. somewhat, and six conubat; but from three multiplied into ten, it 8. what is full of remains, because three s. what is full, and ten remains; and a compound number involves the like with a simple aunber whereof it is compounded. And whereas man cannot be regenerated, that is, be admitted into spiritual combats where- by regeneration is effected, until he has received remains to the full, therefore it was ordained, that the Levites should not do work in the tent of the assembly until they had completed t. years; their work or functiou is also called warfare. (See Nuin. iv. 3, 23, 30.) The like is involved iu what is said of David. (2 Sam. v. 4.) From these considerations, it is now evident, why the Lord did not inanifest hinself until he was oft years (Luke iu. 23), for he was then in the fulness of remains; and that the priests the Levites, entered upon their functions when they were t. years old, and because David was to rep. the Lord as to the royalty, therefore neither did he begin to reign until he was of that age. 5335.
