7 Jehova, der Gott des Himmels, der mich aus dem Hause meines Vaters und aus dem Lande meiner Verwandtschaft (O. Geburt; wie Kap. 11,26) genommen und der zu mir geredet und der mir also geschworen hat: Deinem Samen will ich dieses Land geben! der wird seinen Engel vor dir hersenden, daß du meinem Sohne von dannen ein Weib nehmest.

3065. 'Behold, I am standing beside a spring of water' means a state when within the Human conjunction takes place involving Divine truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'a spring' as truth, dealt with in 2702, here Divine truth since the subject is the Lord. The state itself in which the conjunction takes place is meant by 'standing beside the spring'; and the fact that it was effected within the Human is evident from the train of thought.

1 The wilderness and the dry land will be glad. The desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.

2 It will blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing. Lebanon's glory Lebanon will be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They will see Yahweh's glory, the excellence of our God.

3 Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees.
