3446. Verses 26-27. And Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his companion, and Phicol the captain of his army. And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore are ye come unto me, and ye have hated me, and have sent me away from you? “And Abimelech went to him from Gerar,” signifies the doctrine of faith that looks to rational things; “and Ahuzzath his companion, and Phicol the captain of his army,” signifies the primaries of the doctrine of their faith; “and Isaac said unto them, Wherefore are ye come unto me, and ye have hated me, and have sent me away from you?” signifies why should they desire the Divine, seeing that they denied it, and were opposed to that which is in the internal sense of the Word.
