2142. THE INTERNAL SENSE

Verse 1. And Jehovah appeared unto him in the oak groves of Mamre, and he was sitting at the door of the tent, as the day was growing hot. “Jehovah appeared unto him,” signifies the Lord’s perception; “in the oak-groves of Mamre,” signifies the quality of the perception; “he was sitting at the door of the tent,” signifies the holiness which at that time appertained to Him; “as the day was growing hot,” signifies from love.
