32
아브라함이 또 가로되 `주는 노하지 마옵소서 내가 이번만 더 말씀하리이다 거기서 십인을 찾으시면 어찌 하시려나이까 ?' 가라사대 내가 십인을 인하여도 멸하지 아니하리라
창세기 18:32
Arcana Coelestia＃2160
2160. Verse 4 Let now a little water be taken, and [all of you] wash your feet, and recline under the tree.
'Let now a little water be taken' means that they were to draw near and bring themselves down from Divine things nearer to His intellectual concepts. 'And wash your feet' means that they were to take on something natural so that during the state He was then passing through His perception might be improved. 'And recline under the tree' means towards the perception of the state through which He was passing, 'tree' meaning perception.
