네가 교만하던 때에 네 아우 소돔을 네 입으로 말하지도 아니하였나니
22
그러므로 너는 이스라엘 족속에게 이르기를 주 여호와의 말씀에 이스라엘 족속아 내가 이렇게 행함은 너희를 위함이 아니요 너희가 들어간 그 열국에서 더럽힌 나의 거룩한 이름을 위함이라
2692. 'And the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven' means comfort. This is clear from the meaning of 'calling out of heaven', also of 'the angel of God', as well as of 'Hagar'. 'Calling out of heaven' means influx, 'the angel of God' the Lord, 2925, 2319, and 'Hagar' the affection for cognitions of truth, 2691. An influx of the Lord into the affection for truth, when utmost grief is felt within that affection because truth has been taken away, is that comfort. That which with man flows in from the Lord is said to be 'called out of heaven', because it passes through heaven, and is clearly discernible there; but in man's perception and thought it is obscured and becomes discernible only through a change in the state of his affection, as here by his receiving comfort.
