3593. 'And Isaac trembled very greatly' means the great change that accompanied the inversion of state. This is clear from the meaning of 'trembling' as a change that took place. Its accompanying the inversion of state is evident from what has been stated above about the two states a person passes through when being regenerated - the state before he has been regenerated and the state after. That is to say, in the state before he has been regenerated truths apparently have dominion, but in the state after he has been regenerated, truths give way and good acquires dominion - see what has often been shown already, in 1904, 2063, 2189, 2697, 2979, 3286, 3288, 3310 (end), 3325, 3330, 3332, 3336, 3470, 3509, 3539, 3548, 3556, 3563, 3570, 3576, 3579.
