18
And he made again the water-holes which had been made in the days of Abraham his father, and which had been stopped up by the Philistines; and he gave them the names which his father had given them.
Genesis 26:18
Arcana Coelestia #3458
3458. 'And in the morning they rose up early' means a state of enlightenment. This is clear from the meaning of 'the morning' and 'rising up early' as a state of enlightenment. For by 'the morning' and 'the dawn' in the highest sense is meant the Lord, and in the internal sense the celestial element of His love, and also from this the state of peace, see 2333, 2405, 2540, 2780. And 'rising up' means in the internal sense a raising up, 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171. From these meanings it is evident that 'in the morning he rose up early' means a state of enlightenment.
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.
