Oak

  
Abraham's Oak, By Henry Ossawa Tanner - bAFcVvfhBC3idg at Google Cultural Institute maximum zoom level, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=22126352

'To hide under an oak,' as in Genesis 35:4, signifies eternal rejection. 'Oak' signifies the sensory good and truth of the church, and consequently, the lowest part of the natural, which is either the truths and goods, or the falsities and evils of the natural level.
