And Abram was a son of ninety years and nine years; and Jehovah appeared unto Abram, and said unto him, I am God Shaddai; walk thou before Me and be thou perfect [integer]. “Abram was a son of ninety years and nine years,” signifies the time before the Lord had fully conjoined the internal man with the rational; “Abram” signifies the Lord in that state and in that age; “and Jehovah appeared to Abram,” signifies manifestation; “and said unto him,” signifies perception; “I am God Shaddai,” in the sense of the letter signifies the name of Abram’s God, by which name the Lord was first represented before them; “walk thou before Me,” signifies the truth of faith; “and be thou perfect,” signifies good.
