7938. 'This is the Passover sacrifice to Jehovah' means worship of the Lord because of the deliverance. This is clear from the meaning of 'sacrifice' as worship, dealt with in 922, 6905; and from the meaning of 'the Passover' as the presence of the Lord and the deliverance of those belonging to the spiritual Church, dealt with in 7097(end), 7867.

3395. 'And Isaac said to him, Because I said, Perhaps I may die because of her' means that it would not be received. This is clear from what has been stated above in 3387, at the words 'for he was afraid to say, My wife, [thinking,] The men of the place may perhaps kill me on account of Rebekah'. More plainly than anywhere else 'saying' here means perceiving and thinking.
