17
καὶ ἔστη ὁ ἀγρὸς εφρων ὃς ἦν ἐν τῷ διπλῷ σπηλαίῳ ὅς ἐστιν κατὰ πρόσωπον μαμβρη ὁ ἀγρὸς καὶ τὸ σπήλαιον ὃ ἦν ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ πᾶν δένδρον ὃ ἦν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ ὅ ἐστιν ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτοῦ κύκλῳ
Genesis 23:17
Arcana Coelestia # 2912
2912. 'Abraham rose up' means a raising up. This is clear from the meaning of 'rising up' as implying some kind of raising up, dealt with in 2401, 2785, here a raising up from grief, for a new Church was about to be established in place of the previous one that perished.
[2912a] 'From before his dead' means in that [state of] night. This is clear from the meaning of 'dying', 'death', and 'one who has died' as night as regards the state of the Church, dealt with above in 2908.
