2835. Verse 14 And Abraham called the name of that place, Jehovah will see; as it is said today, On the mountain Jehovah will see [to it]. 'And Abraham called the name of that place' means the nature of their state which was brought about by the Lord's Divine Human. 'Jehovah will see' means the Lord's Providence. 'As it is said today' means that which is perpetual. 'On the mountain Jehovah will see [to it]' means charity by means of which provision was made by the Lord for them to be saved.
