3390. 'It happened, because his days were prolonged for him there' means a state of reception. This is clear from the meaning of 'prolonging for him there', that is to say, for Isaac, as this: When Divine Good, represented by Isaac, had been present for some time truth would be received, for it is the reception of truth by those who are spiritual that is the subject in the internal sense; and from the meaning of 'days' as states, dealt with in 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788.
