1615. Verse 18 And Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt in the oak-groves of Mamre which are in Hebron, and there he built an altar to Jehovah.

'Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt in the oak-groves of Mamre which are in Hebron' means that the Lord arrived at a perception more interior still. This is the sixth state. 'And there he built an altar to Jehovah' means worship as the outcome of that state.
