3139. Verses 31-33. And he said, Come, thou blessed of Jehovah, wherefore standest thou without? For I have swept the house, and there is room for the camels. And the man came into the house, and loosed the camels; and he gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men that were with him. And there was set before him to eat; and he said, I will not eat until I have spoken my words. And he said, Speak. “He said, Come, thou blessed of Jehovah,” signifies an invitation of the Divine within Him; “wherefore standest thou without?” signifies somewhat therefrom; “for I have swept the house,” signifies that all things were prepared and full of goods; “and there is room for the camels,” signifies a state for all things that would be serviceable to Him; “and the man came into the house,” signifies influx into the good therein; “and loosed the camels,” signifies freedom for those things which were to serve; “and he gave straw and provender for the camels,” signifies instruction in truths and goods; “and water to wash his feet,” signifies purification there; “and the feet of the men that were with him,” signifies purification of all things belonging to Him, in the natural man; “and there was set before him to eat,” signifies that good in the natural man desired these things should be appropriated; “and he said, I will not eat,” signifies refusal; “until I have spoken my words,” signifies until instruction should be given; “and he said, Speak,” signifies longing.
