3201. Verses 64-65 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes and saw Isaac, and dropped down from upon the camel. And she said to the servant, Who is that man there walking in the field to meet us? And the servant said, He is my master. And she took a veil and covered herself.

'Rebekah lifted up her eyes and saw Isaac' means a reciprocal directing by the affection for truth. 'And dropped down from upon the camel' means the separation of this affection from facts within the natural man, at the point when rational good was seen. 'And she said to the servant' means investigation from the Divine Natural. 'Who is that man there walking in the field to meet us?' means regarding the Rational immersed in good alone. 'And the servant said, He is my master' means acknowledgement. 'And she took a veil and covered herself' means appearances of truth.

Jehovah

  

The Lord, in the simplest terms, is love itself expressed as wisdom itself. In philosophic terms, love is the Lord's substance and wisdom is His form. Of course, we feel the Lord's love and hear His wisdom in many different ways, depending on our state in life and how receptive we are. That's why the Lord has so many different names in the Bible, and is referred to in so many different ways.
