2286. Verse 33 And Jehovah departed, when He had finished speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.

'And Jehovah departed, when He had finished speaking to Abraham' means that this state of perception which existed with the Lord now ceased to be such. 'And Abraham returned to his place' means that the Lord returned to the state which had been His before He perceived these matters.
