1439. Verse 6. And Abram passed through the land, even unto the place Shechem, even unto the oak-grove Moreh: and the Canaanite was then in the land. “Abram passed through the land, even unto the place Shechem” signifies the Lord’s second state, when the celestial things of love became apparent to Him, which are signified by “Shechem;” “even unto the oak-grove Moreh,” signifies the third state, namely, the first perception, which is “the oak-grove Moreh;” “and the Canaanite was then in the land,” signifies the evil heredity from the mother in His external man.
