1863. Verse 18. In that day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land, from the river of Egypt, even to the great river, the river Euphrates. “In that day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram,” signifies the conjunction of the Lord’s interior man with His Internal or Jehovah; “saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land,” signifies the consolations after these temptations and horrors, in that they who are in charity and in faith in Him will become heirs; “from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates,” signifies the extension of spiritual and celestial things; “to the river of Egypt,” is the extension of spiritual things; “to the river Euphrates,” is the extension of celestial things.
