ιδου, ο δουλος σου ευρηκε χαριν ενωπιον σου, και εμεγαλυνας το ελεος σου, το οποιον εκαμες προς εμε, φυλαττων την ζωην μου· αλλ' εγω δεν θελω δυνηθη να διασωθω εις το ορος, μηπως με προφθαση το κακον και αποθανω·

2319. 'The two angels' means the Lord's Divine Human and His Holy proceeding to which judgement belongs. This is clear both from the meaning of 'angels' in the Word and from the fact that the expression 'two angels' is used here. In the Word 'angels' means some Divine essential in the Lord, though which essential becomes clear from the train of thought, as shown already in 1925. That here the Lord's Divine Human and His Holy proceeding are meant is evident from the consideration that the three men who stayed with Abraham meant the Divine itself, the Lord's Divine Human, and His Holy proceeding, 2149, 2156, 2288. From this, and from the fact that they are called 'Jehovah' in verse 24, and also from the meaning of 'angels', 1925, it is plain that 'the two angels' is here used to mean the Lord's Divine Human and His Holy proceeding.
