The term 'Hebrew' is used in the Word to signify anything relating to service, whatever its nature may be. Hence Abraham, in one passage only (in Genesis 14), is called 'the Hebrew,' because he represented the Lord's interior man, to which is joined to the internal or divine man. The interior man is such that it serves the internal or divine man.
