3234. THE INTERNAL SENSE.

Verse 1. And Abraham added, and took a woman, and her name was Keturah. “And Abraham added, and took a woman,” signifies another state of the Lord, whom Abraham represents; Abraham and Sarah represented the Lord as to the Divine celestial; Abraham and Keturah represented the Lord as to the Divine spiritual; thus Abraham here represents the Lord as to Divine good spiritual, and his woman as to Divine truth adjoined to this good; “and her name was Keturah,” signifies the essence of this Divine truth.
