1445. Verse 7. And Jehovah was seen of Abram, and said, To thy seed will I give this land. And there he built an altar to Jehovah, who was seen of him. “Jehovah was seen of Abram,” signifies that Jehovah appeared to the Lord while yet a child; “and said, To thy seed will I give this land,” signifies that celestial things should be given to those who should have faith in Him; “and there he built an altar to Jehovah, who was seen of him,” signifies the first worship of His Father from the celestial of love.
