51 A Lavan i Vatuilo odgovarajući rekoše: Od Gospoda je ovo došlo; mi ti ne možemo kazati ni zlo ni dobro. Eto, Reveka je u tvojoj vlasti, uzmi je pa idi, i neka bude žena sinu tvog gospodara, kao što kaza Gospod.

3140. He said, Come, thou blessed of Jehovah. That this signifies an invitation of the Divine within Him, is evident from the signification of “Come,” as being invitation; and from the signification of the “blessed of Jehovah,” as being the Divine; that the “blessed Jehovah” is the Divine Itself, may be seen above (n. 1096, 1420, 1422); and it follows that the “blessed of Jehovah” is the Divine therefrom. Good is the Divine Itself, but truth is the Divine thence derived. By the “man” here who was sent by Abraham, is signified the truth which was from the Divine, in the natural man (n. 3134); it is Divine truth which is called the “blessed of Jehovah,” and which is invited.
