3663. 'Rise up' means provided it raised up that good from these. This is clear from the meaning of 'rising up' - whenever this is mentioned - as a phrase that implies some kind of raising up, dealt with in 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171. Here it is a raising up from such things as are meant by 'the daughters of Canaan' to such things as are meant by 'the daughters of Laban', dealt with below.

2927. 'Abraham rose up and bowed' means the Lord's joy at being received so kindly. This is clear from the meaning of 'rising up' as implying some kind of raising up, dealt with in 2401, 2785 - gladness and joy raise the mind up, and therefore the phrase 'he rose up' is used here; from the representation of 'Abraham' as the Lord, often dealt with already; and from the meaning of 'bowing' as feeling joy, bowing being a movement of the body expressing both humiliation and joy. The fact that an expression of joy at being received kindly is meant here is evident from what comes before and after the words 'Abraham rose up and bowed down'.
