2630. 'Isaac' means the Divine Rational. This is clear from what has been stated already about Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in 1893, 2066, 2083, to the effect that 'Abraham' represents the Lord's Supreme Divine, 'Isaac' the Divine Rational, and 'Jacob' His Divine Natural, as will also be clear from what comes later on where Isaac is the subject.
