1359. Verse 27 And these are the generations of Terah: Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran, and Haran begot Lot.

'These are the generations of Terah' means the origins and derivatives of the idolatry, from which a representative Church emerged. Terah was the son of Nahor, and also a nation that was named after him as its forefather. He means idolatrous worship. Abram, Nahor, and Haran were the sons of Terah and also nations that were named after them as their forefathers. Here they mean forms of idolatrous worship stemming from them. From Lot also two nations descended which were idolaters.

Our feet are the lowest parts of our bodies, and they're very useful! In the Bible, feet represent the lowest and most utilitarian part of our spiritual selves -- the “natural” level. This everyday aspect of life is involved with routine tasks and demands and the thoughts associated with them. It's not terribly deep or introspective, but it is useful -- just like feet. This correspondence is true of the Lord and of church communities, too. The Lord's Divine Natural leads us through relatively simple obedience (think of the Ten Commandments). Churches, too, have a natural level on which they serve their communities in simple but tangible ways.
