3390. And it came to pass, because the days were there prolonged to him. That this signifies a state of reception, is evident from the signification of “being prolonged there to him,” namely, to Isaac, as being that when the Divine good which is represented by Isaac was there for some time, truth was received (for in the internal sense the reception of truth by the spiritual is treated of); and from the signification of “days” as being states (n. 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788).

Zephaniah 2:13-14

Study

      

13 He will stretch out his hand against the north, destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, as dry as the wilderness.

14 Herds will lie down in the midst of her, all the animals of the nations. Both the pelican and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams.
