1784. Verse 1. After these words, the word of Jehovah came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I am a shield to thee, thy exceeding great reward. “After these words, the word of Jehovah came unto Abram in a vision,” signifies that after the combats in childhood there was revelation; “a vision” denotes inmost revelation, which is that of perception; “Fear not, Abram, I am a shield to thee,” signifies protection against evils and falsities, which is to be trusted; “thy great reward,” signifies the end or purpose of the victories.
