3193. Verses 62-63 And Isaac had come from 1 Beer Lahai Roi, and was dwelling in the land of the south. And Isaac came out to meditate in the field towards evening, and lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, the camels were coming.

'Isaac had come from Beer Lahai Roi' means Divine Rational Good born from Divine Truth itself. 'And was dwelling in the land of the south' means consequently in Divine light. 'And Isaac came out to meditate in the field' means a state of the Rational immersed in good. 'Towards evening' means as compared with the things below it. 'And lifted up his eyes and saw' means directing the attention. 'And behold, the camels were coming' means towards general facts in the natural man.

Lord (as in ruler or master)

  
The Collapse of the Earl of Chatham in the House of Lords, by John Singleton Copley

Characters in the Bible will often address others using the term “my lord,” and it seems to be no more than an expression of respect. The name “the Lord” refers to the Divine Good, and that when the term “lord” is applied to men or angels it also refers to the desire to be good.
