Arcana Coelestia #2206
2206. Jehovah said unto Abraham. That this signifies the Lord’s perception from the Divine, is evident from the signification of “saying” as being to perceive (explained before, n. 1898, 1919, 2080); and from the words “Jehovah said,” as being to perceive from the Divine, for as already often shown, the Lord’s internal itself was Jehovah.
