6549. 'Which Abraham had bought with the field' means those whom the Lord had redeemed. This is clear from the meaning of 'buying' as redemption, dealt with in 6458, 6461; from the representation of 'Abraham' as the Lord, dealt with in 1965, 1989, 2011, 2172, 2198, 3245, 3305 (end), 3439; 3703, 4615, 6098, 6185, 6276; and from the meaning of 'the field' as the Church, dealt with in 2971, 3766. From all this it is evident that 'which Abraham had bought with the field' means those belonging to the Church, whom the Lord had redeemed.

4615. 'Where Abraham and Isaac sojourned' means Divine life together with it. This is clear from the meaning of 'sojourning' as life, dealt with in 1463, 2025; from the representation of 'Abraham' as the Lord's Divine itself, 1989, 2011, 3245, 3251, 3439, 3703, 4206, 4207; and from the representation of 'Isaac' as His Divine Rational, 1893, 2066, 2072, 2083, 2630, 2774, 3012, 3194, 3210, 4180. It is because the joining together of the Divine Natural and the Divine Rational is the subject here that Abraham and Isaac are mentioned at this point and are said to have sojourned there [in Hebron], so as to mean Divine life together with it, that is to say, together with the Divine Natural meant by 'Jacob'. And because the Divine itself, the Divine Rational, and the Divine Natural are one within the Lord, the verb used in the phrase 'where Abraham and Isaac sojourned' is singular, not plural.
