1572. That “the herdmen of Abram’s cattle” are the celestial things which are of the internal man, and that “the herdmen of Lot’s cattle” are the sensuous things which are of the external man, is evident from what has already been said. By the celestial things which are “the herdmen of Abram’s cattle,” are meant the celestial things in worship which are of the internal man. By “the herdmen of Lot’s cattle” are meant the sensuous things that are in worship, which are of the external man, and do not agree with the celestial things of the worship of the internal man. How these things stand, is evident from what has already been shown.
