4365. 'And he said, To find favour in the eyes of my lord' means an introduction that went favourably. This becomes clear without explanation, for 'finding favour' means that they may find acceptance, and things that find acceptance are introduced, that is, instilled, favourably.

Sanctuary and tabernacle

  

'The sanctuary and habitation' together signify heaven and the church, 'sanctuary' regarding the good of love, and 'tabernacle' regarding truths of that good because the Lord dwells in truths from good.
