2645. Verse 8 And the boy grew, and was weaned; and Abraham made a great feast on the day when he weaned Isaac. 'The boy grew' means further perfection of the Lord's Rational. 'And was weaned' means separation of the merely human rational. 'Abraham made a great feast' means dwelling together and union. 'On the day when he weaned Isaac' means a state of separation.
