1425. Verse 4 And Abram went, as Jehovah had told him; and Lot went with him. And Abram was a son of seventy-five years when he went out of Haran.

As has been stated, 'Abram' represents the Lord as regards His Human Essence. 'And Abram went, as Jehovah had told him' means an advance towards Divine things. 'And Lot went with him' means sensory perception -'Lot' representing the Lord as regards His sensory and bodily man. 'And Abram was a son of seventy-five years' means that as yet there was not so much of the Divine. 'When he went out of Haran' means an obscure state which the Lord was experiencing.
