7
Und Abraham lief zu den
indern und nahm ein Kalb, zart und gut, und gab es dem Knaben; und der beeilte sich, es zuzubereiten.
1 Mose 18:7
Arcana Coelestia # 2151
2151. 'Abraham ran to meet them' means that He came closer in thought to the things that were perceived. This is clear from the train of thought in the internal sense, for reference is made in the previous verse to the perception which the Lord then had, and in this verse to His becoming aware that this perception came from the Divine; and in this particular part of the verse to His coming closer to that perception, represented and so meant by 'he ran to meet them'.
