Nurse

  

In Genesis 21:7, this signifies to implant truth from good, or something spiritual from a celestial origin. (Arcana Coelestia 2643)

In Psalm 8:2, this signifies that praise can come to the Lord only through innocence, for this alone effects all communication and all influx. (Arcana Coelestia 5236[4]) 'The nurse,' in Genesis 24:59, signifies a state of innocence. 'The nurse,' in Genesis 35, signifies hereditary evil. 'A nurse,' as she feeds and nurses an infant, properly signifies the introduction of innocence by the celestial spiritual. But when 'Deborah, the nurse of Rebecca died and was buried,' it signifies that hereditary evil which the Lord received from His mother, which was nourished from infancy just like with other people, was later totally expelled forever.

3117. Verses 26-27 And the man bowed, and bowed down to Jehovah. And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, who has not abandoned His mercy and His truth towards my master. As for me, being on the way, Jehovah has led me to the house of my master's brethren.

'The man bowed, and bowed down to Jehovah' means gladness and joy. 'And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham' means here, as previously, from the Divine itself and the Divine Human. 'Who has not abandoned His mercy' means a perception of the influx of love. 'And His truth towards my master' means an influx of charity from that inflowing love. 'As for me, being on the way' means within a state of truth joined to good in the Rational. 'Jehovah has led me to the house of my master's brethren' means to good, the source of truth.
