대대로 남자는 집에서 난 자나 혹 너희 자손이 아니요 이방 사람에게서 돈으로 산 자를 무론하고 난지 팔일 만에 할례를 받을 것이라
Arcana Coelestia # 1987
1987. THE INTERNAL SENSE
Verse 1 And Abram was a son of ninety-nine years, and Jehovah appeared to Abram and said to him, I am God Shaddai; walk before Me and be blameless.
'Abram was a son of ninety-nine years' means the period of time before the Lord fully joined the Internal Man to the Rational Man, 'Abram' meaning the Lord in that state and at that age. 'And Jehovah appeared to Abram' means manifestation. 'And He said to him' means perception. 'I am God Shaddai' means, in the sense of the letter, the name of Abram's God, by means of which the Lord was represented before them at first. 'Walk before Me' means the truth of faith. 'And be blameless' means the good [of charity].
