Arcana Coelestia #3072

/ 10837  
  

3072. 'Let her be the one whom You have appointed for Your servant Isaac' means the joining together of Divine truth and Divine Good in the Rational. This is clear from the meaning of 'appointing', that is to say, the woman, as joining together by means of a marriage covenant, and from the representation of 'Isaac' as the Divine good of the Rational, dealt with above in 3024. Rebekah - to whom 'her' refers here - represents Divine truth that was to be joined to the Divine Good of the Rational, as stated in various places above and as is evident from the details in the internal sense in this chapter.

Arcana Coelestia #3025

Study this Passage

  
/ 10837  
  

3025. 'In whose midst I am dwelling' means incompatible things in the maternal human that surround. This is clear from the meaning of 'living in the midst of them', that is to say, of the Canaanites, as those things that are round about, or that surround - things incompatible with truth, as is clear from what has been stated just above about the meaning of 'the daughters of the Canaanites'. These are the things which the Lord received by heredity from the maternal side and which He subsequently cast away when He made His Human Divine, as becomes clear from what has been stated and shown already on the same subject in 1414, 1444, 1573, 2159, 2574, 2649.
