2147. Verse 2 And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, three men standing over him. And he saw, and ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed down towards the ground. 1

'He lifted up his eyes' means that He saw within Himself. 'And behold, three men standing over him' means the Divine itself, the Divine Human, and the Holy proceeding. 'And he saw' means when He recognized this. 'And he ran to meet them' means that He came closer in thought to those things that were perceived. 'From the tent door' means from the holiness that was the Lord's at that time. 'And he bowed down towards the ground' means the expression of humility from the resulting joy.
