1459. Verse 10 And there was a famine in the land; and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine in the land was serious.
'There was a famine in the land' means a lack of cognitions which still existed with the Lord when He was a boy. 'And Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn' means instruction in cognitions from the Word, 'Egypt' meaning knowledge comprised of cognitions, 'sojourning' receiving instruction. 'For the famine in the land was serious' means a great lack in His External Man.
