2663. God said unto Abraham. That this signifies the Lord’s perception from the Divine, is evident from the signification of “saying” in the historic parts of the Word, as being to perceive (explained very often before); and because it was from the Divine it is said that “God said to Abraham.” By both names, “God” and “Abraham,” is meant the Lord; which shows that the historic statements which are the sense of the letter, divide the ideas; but that the internal sense unites them; for in the historic sense of the letter there are two (namely, God and Abraham) who speak to each other; but in the internal sense there is one, namely, the Lord in respect to the Divine. This also shows that they who are three in the sense of the letter are one in the internal sense; as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who are not three gods, but one; and that all the Trinity is complete in the Lord; namely, that in Him is the Father, as He says; and that from Him is the Holy Spirit, as He also says.
