32 അങ്ങനെ ആ പുരുഷന്‍ വീട്ടില്‍ ചെന്നു. അവന്‍ ഒട്ടകങ്ങളെ കോപ്പഴിച്ചു ഒട്ടകങ്ങള്‍ക്കു വയ്ക്കോലും തീനും അവന്നും കൂടെയുള്ളവര്‍ക്കും കാലുകളെ കഴുകുവാന്‍ വെള്ളവും കൊടുത്തു, അവന്റെ മുമ്പില്‍ ഭക്ഷണം വെച്ചു.

3109. Verses 23-25. And he said, Whose daughter art thou? Tell me I pray is there room in thy father’s house for us to pass the night? And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bare unto Nahor. And she said unto him, We have both straw and much provender, also room to pass the night. “He said, Whose daughter art thou?” signifies further exploration concerning innocence; “tell me I pray is there room in thy father’s house for us to pass the night;” signifies exploration concerning the good of charity; “and she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bare unto Nahor,” signifies here as above the whole of its origin; “and she said unto him,” signifies perception; “we have both straw,” signifies truths in the form of memory-knowledge; “and much provender,” signifies their goods; “also room to pass the night,” signifies the state.
