1739. Verse 21. And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the soul, and take the substance to thyself. “The king of Sodom said,” signifies the evil and falsity which were overcome; “unto Abram” signifies the Lord’s rational; “Give me the soul, and take the substance to thyself,” signifies that He should give them life, and they would not care for other things.
