3208. Verses 66-67 And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done. And Isaac brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother; and he took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her. And Isaac was comforted after [the death of] his mother.

'The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done' means perception from the Divine Natural showing how real things stood now. 'And Isaac brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother' means the sanctuary of truth within the Divine Human. 'And he took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her' means the joining together. 'And Isaac was comforted after [the death of] his mother' means a new state.

1785. That 'after these events' the word of Jehovah came to Abram in a vision' means that after the conflicts in childhood revelation followed is clear from the meaning of 'words', and also of 'the word of Jehovah to Abram', as well as from the meaning of 'a vision'. The expression 'words' in the Hebrew language means real things, in this case the things that have been completed, namely the Lord's conflicts brought about by the temptations which were described in the previous chapter. 'The word of Jehovah to Abram' is nothing other than the word which the Lord had within Himself. In childhood however and during the conflicts that came with temptations, when [His Human and Divine] Essences were not yet united as one, that word was unable to be seen as anything else than a revelation. That which is internal, when acting into that which is external, in a state and at moments when the latter is more remote, cannot manifest itself in any other way. This is the state that is called the Lord's state of humiliation.
