3073. 'And in this I shall know that You have dealt mercifully with my master' means that the beginning of the marriage lies in Divine love. This is clear from the meaning of 'mercy' here in the internal sense as Divine love, dealt with in 3063. And since the subject is the betrothal of Rebekah to Isaac, that is, the joining of Divine truth to the Divine Good of the Rational, 'dealing mercifully with my master' means nothing else than a marriage, and so a marriage beginning in Divine love. For this statement is also the conclusion of his plea, and the purpose for which he made it.
