Arcana Coelestia # 3202
3202. 'Rebekah lifted up her eyes and saw Isaac' means a reciprocal directing by the affection for truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'lifting up the eyes and seeing' as directing the attention, dealt with above in 3198, here a reciprocal directing because it has been said already of Isaac that he 'lifted up his eyes and saw', and now here it is said of Rebekah that she 'lifted up her eyes and saw Isaac'; and from the representation of 'Rebekah' as the affection for truth, often dealt with already.
Esra 5:11
11
Sie aber gaben uns solche Worte zur Antwort und sprachen: Wir sind Knechte des Gottes Himmels und der Erde und bauen das Haus, das vorhin vor vielen Jahren gebauet war, das ein großer König Israels gebauet hat und aufgerichtet.
