Arcana Coelestia #1536
1536. Described here is the state of the external Man as it existed in childhood when it was first endowed with facts and cognitions - how it moved on from these more and more towards conjunction with the Internal, verses 1-4.
Genesis 13:1-4
1
Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.
2
Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
3
He went on his journeys from the South even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
4
to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on the name of Yahweh.
