Genesis 12:5

Study

       

5 Ja Aabram võttis oma naise Saarai ja oma vennapoja Loti ja kogu nende varanduse, mis nad olid soetanud, ja Haaranis hangitud hingelised, ja nad läksid teele Kaananimaa poole. Ja nad jõudsid Kaananimaale.

Arcana Coelestia #1466

Studere hoc loco

1466. 'And it happened, when he drew near to come into Egypt' means when He started to learn. This is clear from the meaning of 'Egypt' as knowledge comprised of cognitions. When the expression 'draw near' is used with reference to this it cannot have any other meaning.
