2154. Verse 3. And he said, My Lord, if I pray I have found grace in Thine eyes, pass not I pray from Thy servant. “And he said,” signifies that the Lord so thought; “My Lord,” signifies the Trine in a One; “if I pray I have found grace in Thine eyes,” signifies the deference of the Lord’s state when He noticed that perception; “pass not I pray from Thy servant,” signifies that He intensely desired that what He began to perceive should not pass away. The “servant” is the human that appertained to the Lord before it was made Divine.
