3036. 'Who took me from my father's house and from the land of my nativity' means the Divine itself by whom the Lord freed Himself from the evils and from the falsities received from the mother. This is clear from the meaning of 'father's house' here and of 'land of nativity' as that received or inherited from the mother, which was the source of the evil and falsity which the Lord fought against and cast out, and in so doing made His Human Divine by His own power. Please see what has been stated in 3031 about the house and the land from which Abram came, and in what was stated previously to the effect that the Lord's heredity from Jehovah was Divine and from the mother evil, in 1414, 1444; that He fought against the evil inherited from the mother but never committed any evil of His own, 1444, 1573; and that the Lord cast out everything inherited from the mother till at length He was not her son, 2159, 2574, 2649. That which was inherited from the mother is what is meant in the internal sense by 'father's house' and 'land of nativity'. 'Father's house' means the evil inherited from the mother, 'land of nativity' the falsities inherited from her, for where evil exists falsities are present, for the two exist joined together. That He cast them out by His own power, see 1616, 1 1813, 1921, 2025, 2026, 2083, 2523.

3210. 'And Isaac brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother' means the sanctuary of truth within the Divine Human. This is clear from the meaning of 'a tent' as that which is holy, dealt with in 414, 1102, 2145, 2152, 2576, and so the sanctuary; and from meaning of 'Sarah his mother' as Divine truth, dealt with in 1468, 1901, 2063, 2065, 2904, from which the Divine Human was born, the Rational of which is represented by 'the son Isaac'. From this it is evident that 'Isaac brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother' means that rational Good guided Truth represented by Rebekah into the sanctuary of truth. What the sanctuary of truth is becomes clear from what has been stated above in 3194 about the Lord's Divine Human - that Good and Truth belong essentially to the Divine itself, but that the Lord's Divine Human came into existence from Divine Good and was born (as to the Divine itself, that is) from Divine Truth; or what amounts to the same, that the Lord's Essential Being (Esse) was Divine Good, but the Manifestation (Existere) of Him was Divine Truth. From this came Divine Rational Good to which He joined Divine Truth from the Human.

[2] It is impossible to say anything more about this very deep arcanum than this: Divine Good and Truth themselves within the Lord's Divine Human to which Truth from the Human was joined are what were meant by the Sanctuary or Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle and in the Temple. The nature of that Good and Truth was represented by the objects within the Sanctuary, such as the golden altar, the table with the loaves of the presence, and the lampstand; and further within, by the Mercy Seat and the Ark; and within it, inmostly, by the Testimony which was the Law delivered from Sinai. This was the Holy of Holies itself or Sanctuary of Truth.
