3184. 'And Abraham's servant and his men' means from the Divine things within the natural man. This is clear from the meaning of 'Abraham's servant' as the natural man, dealt with in 3019, 3020, and from the meaning of 'his men' as all things in the natural man, dealt with in 3169. Their being Divine things within the natural man is evident from the consideration that the servant had been sent by Abraham, who, as shown many times already, represents the Lord's Divine.

5 It happened about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out. Where the men went, I don't know. Pursue them quickly; for you will overtake them."

6 But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.

7 The men pursued them the way to the Jordan to the fords: and as soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.
