3185. 'And they blessed Rebekah and said to her' means heartfelt desires resulting from Divine enlightenment. This is clear from the meaning of 'blessing', when bidding farewell to someone who is leaving, as expressing heartfelt desires for their happiness. The fact that here those desires are the result of Divine enlightenment is evident from what follows immediately after and also for the reason that enlightenment flows into the natural man by way of the affection for truth, which is 'Rebekah', when being introduced into good, which is 'Isaac'.

In Genesis 24:23, this signifies various religiosities and worships. (Arcana Coelestia 2864)

Bethuel also signifies such good of charity as the some gentiles have, and, from good, their affection for truth. (Arcana Coelestia 2865, 3111)

In Genesis 24:50, this signifies the origin of affection of good in the natural man. (Arcana Coelestia 3160)
