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.

3045. 'And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master' means that the natural man was bound, as regards its power, to the good of conjugial love. This is clear from what has been stated in 3021, where also the same words occur.
