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'.
Richter 6:19
19
Da ging Gideon hinein und bereitete ein Ziegenböcklein zu, und ungesäuerte Kuchen aus einem Epha Mehl; das Fleisch tat er in einen Korb, und die Brühe tat er in einen Topf; und er brachte es zu ihm heraus unter die Terebinthe und setzte es vor.
