2032. God said unto Abraham. That this signifies perception, is evident from the signification of “God said,” in the historic Word as being to perceive (explained before, n. 1602, 1791, 1815, 1819, 1822).

1819. He said, Lord Jehovih. That this signifies a conversation, as it were, of the Interior man with the Internal, is evident from what was said in the preceding verse in connection with the words, “Jehovah said unto him;” and also from what was said (at verse 2 of this chapter) concerning the Lord Jehovih, as denoting the conversation of the Interior man with the Internal, or Jehovah, especially when He was in temptation.
