6847. 'The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob' means the Divine itself and the Divine Human, thus the Lord. This is clear from the representation of 'Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob' as the Lord's Divine itself and His Divine Human. For the fact that 'Abraham' represents the Lord's Divine itself, 'Isaac' His Divine Rational, and 'Jacob' His Divine Natural, see 1893, 2011, 2066, 2072, 2083, 2630, 3194, 3210, 3245, 3251, 3305 (end), 3439, 3704, 4180, 4286, 4538, 6425, 6804. By 'God' is meant that which is Divine, and by those three names that which is representative; therefore those attributes within the Lord are what 'the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob' is used to mean.
