Genesis 24:12

Study

       

12 And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.

Arcana Coelestia #3151

Studere hoc loco

3151. Until I have spoken my words. That this signifies until instruction should be given, is evident from the signification of “speaking words,” as being to instruct. Moreover the things which he spoke, and that follow in the series, belong to instruction. That Divine things flow into those which are in the natural man, according to the instruction and the consequent progress, may be seen above (n. 3141 at the end).
