3117. Verses 26-27. And the man bent himself, and bowed himself down to Jehovah; and he said, Blessed be Jehovah the God of my lord Abraham, who hath not forsaken His mercy and His truth from my lord; I being in the way, Jehovah hath led me to the house of my lord’s brethren. “The man bent himself, and bowed himself down to Jehovah,” signifies gladness and joy; “and he said, Blessed be Jehovah the God of my lord Abraham,” signifies here as before, from the Divine Itself and the Divine Human; “who hath not forsaken His mercy,” signifies a perception of the influx of love; “and His truth from my lord,” signifies the influx of charity therefrom; “I being in the way,” signifies in a state of the conjunction of truth with good in the rational; “Jehovah hath led me to the house of my lord’s brethren,” signifies to the good of truth.
