4541. 'And make there an altar to the God who appeared to you' means that which is holy there. This is clear from the meaning of 'an altar' as the chief representative of the Lord, dealt with in 921, 2777, 2811, 4489. This being so, the holiness of worship is meant by 'making an altar to God'.

Rebecca

  

'Rebecca' in Genesis 24 signifies divine truth which would be joined to divine good of the Lord's rational mind, which is 'Isaac.'
