8 Kun hän oli viipynyt siellä jonkun aikaa, niin tapahtui, että Abimelek, filistealaisten kuningas, kerran katsellessaan ulos akkunasta näki Iisakin hyväilevän vaimoansa.

3406. And Jehovah blessed him. That this signifies in respect to the good of love therein, is evident from the signification of “being blessed,” as being to be enriched with all celestial and spiritual good (n. 981, 1731, 2846); thus to be “blessed by Jehovah” is to be enriched with celestial good, which is of love, for Jehovah is the very being of love or of good (n. 1735); and therefore where good is treated of, “Jehovah” is named; but where truth is treated of, “God” is named (n. 2586, 2769).
