1934. Verse 9. And the Angel of Jehovah said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and humble thyself under her hands. “The Angel of Jehovah said,” signifies the response of the Lord’s interior man; “Return to thy mistress,” signifies that it was observed that it ought not to trust to itself, but to interior truth and to the affection of it; “and humble thyself under her hands,” signifies that it ought to compel itself to be under its sovereign power.
