3064. 'With my master Abraham' means the Divine Human. This is clear from the representation of 'Abraham' here as the Lord's Divine Human, dealt with in 2833, 2836.

Provender

  

In Exodus 32:20, see Strewed.

'To give provender to his donkey,' as in Genesis 42:27, signifies reflection upon scientific ideas, because 'provender' is the food with which donkeys are fed, consisting of straw and chaff, and so it denotes all reflection on scientific ideas, for reflection principally feeds them. 'Provender' signifies the good of scientific truths.
