1415. Verse 2. And I will make thee into a great nation; and I will bless thee, and will make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing. “I will make thee into a great nation” signifies the kingdom in the heavens and on the earth; it is said “a great nation,” from things celestial and from goods; “and I will bless thee,” signifies the fructification of celestial things and the multiplication of spiritual things; “and will make thy name great,” signifies glory; “and thou shalt be a blessing,” signifies that from the Lord are all things both in general and in particular.
