1459. Verse 10. And there was a famine in the land. And Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; because the famine was grievous in the land. “There was a famine in the land,” signifies a scarcity of knowledges as yet with the Lord when a child; “and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn,” signifies instruction in knowledges from the Word; “Egypt” is the memory-knowledge of knowledges [scientia cognitionum]; “to sojourn” is to be instructed; “because the famine was grievous in the land,” signifies much scarcity in His external man.
