1431. Verse 5. And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gotten, and the soul that they had gained in Haran: and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. “And Abram took Sarai his wife,” signifies good to which truth has been adjoined; by “Abram,” as has been said, is meant the Lord; here, when He was a child; by Sarai” as a “wife,” is meant truth: “and Lot his brother’s son,” signifies sensuous truth, thus the first that is insinuated into a child; “and all their substance that they had gotten,” signifies all things that are sensuous truths; “and the soul that they had gained in Haran,” signifies every living essential that was possible in that obscure state; “and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan,” signifies that He thus advanced to the celestial things of love; “and into the land of Canaan they came,” signifies that He attained to the celestial things of love.
