2091. Verse 21. And My covenant will I set up with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the following year. “My covenant will I set up with Isaac,” signifies union with the Divine rational; “whom Sarah shall bear unto thee,” signifies the Divine truth conjoined with Good, from which it will come forth; “at this set time in the following year,” signifies a state of union then.
