3414. 'And Abimelech said to Isaac' means the Lord's perception regarding that doctrine. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' as perceiving, often dealt with already; from the representation of 'Abimelech', here the king of the Philistines, as that doctrine, dealt with in 3365, 3391; and from the representation of 'Isaac' as the Lord's Divine Rational.
