Genesis 12:3

Study

       

3 Požehnám také dobrořečícím tobě, a zlořečícím tobě zlořečiti budu; ano požehnány budou v tobě všecky čeledi země.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #1448

Studere hoc loco

1448. 'And there he built an altar to Jehovah who had appeared to him' means initial worship of His Father from the celestial, which essentially is love. This is clear from the meaning of 'an altar' as the chief representative in worship, 921.
