3201. Verses 64-65 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes and saw Isaac, and dropped down from upon the camel. And she said to the servant, Who is that man there walking in the field to meet us? And the servant said, He is my master. And she took a veil and covered herself.

'Rebekah lifted up her eyes and saw Isaac' means a reciprocal directing by the affection for truth. 'And dropped down from upon the camel' means the separation of this affection from facts within the natural man, at the point when rational good was seen. 'And she said to the servant' means investigation from the Divine Natural. 'Who is that man there walking in the field to meet us?' means regarding the Rational immersed in good alone. 'And the servant said, He is my master' means acknowledgement. 'And she took a veil and covered herself' means appearances of truth.
