1730. Verse 19 And he blessed him and said, Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth.

'He blessed him' means the enjoyment of celestial and spiritual things. 'And said, Blessed be Abram by God Most High' means that the Lord's Interior Man had the enjoyment of goods coming from His Internal Man. 'Possessor of heaven and earth' means the conjunction of the Internal Man, or Jehovah, with the interior and the Exterior Man.
