Genesis 21:29

Study

       

29 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?"

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #2640

Studere hoc loco

2640. 'God has made laughter for me' means the affection for celestial truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'laughter' as the affection for truth, dealt with in 2072, 2216, and from 'God making' as the celestial from which it springs.
