Genesis 24:35

Study

       

35 Issand on mu isandat väga õnnistanud, nõnda et ta on jõukaks saanud: ta on temale andnud lambaid, kitsi ja veiseid, hõbedat ja kulda, sulaseid ja teenijaid, kaameleid ja eesleid.

3188. And Rebekah arose. That this signifies the elevation of the affection of truth and a consequent separation, that is, an elevation to the rational, and a separation from the natural; appears from the signification of “arising,” as implying elevation (concerning which see n. 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171); and whereas it implies elevation, it implies also separation; and also from the representation of Rebekah, as being the affection of truth (see n. 3077, 3179). From this it is evident that “Rebekah arising” signifies the elevation of the affection of truth, and a separation from the natural (concerning which see above, n. 3182).
