2513. God came to Abimelech. That this signifies the Lord’s perception concerning the doctrine of faith, is evident from the signification of “God coming,” and from the signification of “Abimelech.” That “God coming” signifies to perceive, is evident, for perception is nothing else than the Divine advent or influx into the intellectual faculty. (That “Abimelech” signifies the doctrine of faith was shown above, n. 2504, 2509, 2510.)
