3285. 'Isaac prayed to Jehovah' means communication of the Divine which is the Son with the Divine which is the Father. This is clear from the meaning of 'praying' as communicating, for prayer is nothing other than communication, and from the representation of 'Isaac' as the Divine Rational. The Divine which is the Son is 'Isaac' - that is, the Rational when truth had been joined to it - whereas the Divine which is the Father is 'Jehovah' here. This communication took place in the Lord, for 'the Father was in the Son, and the Son in the Father', John 14:10-11.

Sheba and Dedan

  

In Ezekiel 38:13, this signifies internal things of worship, namely the goods of faith: properly Sheba signifies people in knowledge of good and Dedan people in knowledge of truth from good. (Arcana Coelestia 3240[6])

'Sheba and Dedan' are people who constitute the first class in the Lord's spiritual kingdom principled in the good of faith and have doctrinal matters of charity. They also signify knowledge of celestial things, or put another way, people in the knowledge of celestial things in the doctrinal matters of charity.
