3192. 'And the servant took Rebekah and went' means that natural Divine Good did the introducing. This is clear from the meaning of 'the servant' as natural Divine Good, as above in 3184, and from the meaning of 'taking Rebekah and going' as introducing, that is to say, bringing to 'Isaac', who is the Divine Good in the Rational, as becomes clear without further explanation. The implications of this are that truth from the natural could not be raised up to good in the rational except by means of natural Divine Truth and natural Divine Good. Natural Divine Truth, which is called 'the man', was to point the way and lead; natural Divine Good, which is referred to as 'the servant', was to bring truth from the natural and introduce it to the good in the rational. To use a comparison, they are like two wings which raise up the possessor of them. These matters cannot be explained any more fully or intelligibly here. One must first know what natural Divine Truth is, and what natural Divine Good is; and these are referred to later on in the internal sense where Joseph is the subject.

3013. The process of introduction is described in the internal sense as follows: When the state was reached in which all things had been rearranged by the Lord into a Divine celestial order so that Divine Truth might be joined to the Divine Good of His Rational - a re-arrangement achieved through the normal channel from the natural man, that is to say, from the facts, cognitions, and matters of doctrine in the natural man - truths were at that point summoned from there by means of the Lord's Divine influx, introduced into good in the rational, and made Divine. Thus the Rational was made Divine by the Lord as regards truth as well as regards good.
