22 καὶ ἀνέβησαν κατὰ τὴν ἔρημον καὶ ἦλθον ἕως χεβρων καὶ ἐκεῖ αχιμαν καὶ σεσσι καὶ θελαμιν γενεαὶ εναχ καὶ χεβρων ἑπτὰ ἔτεσιν ᾠκοδομήθη πρὸ τοῦ τάνιν αἰγύπτου


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 22. It involves also a state of spiritual light from the good of the Spiritual Church giving interior perception, and then leads to the discovery of interior persuasions of falsity from the pride of selfish love, having reference to the will, understanding, and actions. But the interior good of the church which is celestial, is insinuated into man in infancy, before he is consciously in scientifics or knowledges.
