1541. Verse 1. And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, toward the south. In the internal sense, the things here stated, and those which follow in this chapter, also represent the Lord; there being a continuation of His life from childhood. “Abram went up out of Egypt,” signifies from memory-knowledges, which left the Lord. In the internal sense, “Abram” is the Lord, here the Lord when still a child; “Egypt,” here as before, is memory-knowledge; “he and his wife,” signifies the celestial truths that were then with the Lord; “and all that he had” signifies all things that were of the celestial “things; “and Lot with him” signifies what is sensuous; “toward the south,” signifies into celestial light.
