3 και θελω σε ορκισει εις Κυριον τον Θεον του ουρανου και τον Θεον της γης, οτι δεν θελεις λαβει γυναικα εις τον υιον μου εκ των θυγατερων των Χαναναιων, μεταξυ των οποιων εγω κατοικω·

3123. 'As for me, being on the way' means within a state of truth joined to good in the Rational. This is clear from the meaning of 'the way' as truth, dealt with in 627, 2333, here 'on the way' as the joining of truth to good within the Rational, for this is the subject in this chapter, see 3012, 3013. For someone is said to be 'on his way' when he makes progress in the direction he intends to go.
