Arcana Coelestia #3036
3036. 'Who took me from my father's house and from the land of my nativity' means the Divine itself by whom the Lord freed Himself from the evils and from the falsities received from the mother. This is clear from the meaning of 'father's house' here and of 'land of nativity' as that received or inherited from the mother, which was the source of the evil and falsity which the Lord fought against and cast out, and in so doing made His Human Divine by His own power. Please see what has been stated in 3031 about the house and the land from which Abram came, and in what was stated previously to the effect that the Lord's heredity from Jehovah was Divine and from the mother evil, in 1414, 1444; that He fought against the evil inherited from the mother but never committed any evil of His own, 1444, 1573; and that the Lord cast out everything inherited from the mother till at length He was not her son, 2159, 2574, 2649. That which was inherited from the mother is what is meant in the internal sense by 'father's house' and 'land of nativity'. 'Father's house' means the evil inherited from the mother, 'land of nativity' the falsities inherited from her, for where evil exists falsities are present, for the two exist joined together. That He cast them out by His own power, see 1616, 1 1813, 1921, 2025, 2026, 2083, 2523.
