가라사대 여호와께서 이르시기를 내가 나를 가리켜 맹세하노니 네가 이같이 행하여 네 아들 네 독자를 아끼지 아니하였은즉
Arcana Coelestia # 2844
2844. 'And not withheld your son, your only son' means the union of the Human and the Divine which was effected by means of the final degree of temptation. This is clear from what has been stated above in 2827, where the same words occur, except for the omission of 'from Me' in the present verse, which means that the union is to advance further still. As regards the union of the Lord's Human Essence with His Divine Essence ever advancing until it was complete, see 1864, 2033.
