2286. Verse 33. And Jehovah went when He had completed His speaking unto Abraham; and Abraham returned unto his place. “Jehovah went when He had completed His speaking unto Abraham,” signifies that this state of perception in which the Lord was, then ceased to be such; “and Abraham returned unto his place,” signifies that the Lord returned into the state in which He had been before He perceived these things.
