Gift

  

The gift which Abraham gave to the sons of the concubines which he had, as in Genesis 25:6, signifies lots in the Lord's spiritual kingdom. To send gifts, as in Revelation 11:10, signifies to be associated by love and friendship, because a gift consociates, for it begets love, and causes friendship.
