Και προς την Σαρραν ειπεν, Ιδου, εδωκα χιλια αργυρια εις τον αδελφον σου· ιδου, αυτος ειναι εις σε σκεπη των οφθαλμων προς παντας τους μετα σου και προς παντας τους αλλους. Ουτως αυτη επεπληχθη.

Arcana Coelestia #2499
2499. Verse 1 And Abraham travelled from there towards the land of the south, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur; and he sojourned in Gerar.
'Abraham travelled from there towards the land of the south' means the Lord's advances in goods and truths of faith, 'Abraham' being the Lord during that state. 'And dwelt between Kadesh and Shur' means His state specifically, 'Kadesh' being the affection for interior truth coming from rational concepts, 'Shur' the affection for exterior truth deriving from factual knowledge. 'And he sojourned in Gerar' means consequent instruction in the spiritual things of faith.
