3163. 'So it was, when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he bowed down to the earth to Jehovah' means the perception of joy in the natural man. This is clear from the meaning of 'hearing the words' as perceiving, from the representation of 'Abraham's servant' as in general the natural man insofar as it is subservient to the rational, here to the Divine, dealt with in 3019, 3020, and from the meaning of 'bowing down to Jehovah' as rejoicing, dealt with in 2927, 2950, 3118.

Ezekiel 16:16-18

Studie

      

16 You took of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them: [the like things] shall not come, neither shall it be [so].

17 You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them;

18 and you took your embroidered garments, and covered them, and did set my oil and my incense before them.
