22 Tada se podiže odande, i iskopa drugi studenac, i oko njega ne bi svađe; zato ga nazva Rehovot, govoreći: Sad nam dade Gospod prostora da rastemo u ovoj zemlji.

3431. 'He moved on from there' means moving on to things lower still. This is clear from the meaning of 'moving on' as moving on to other things that follow in the train of thought, here therefore to lower or more external things, for the subject up to this point has been higher or more internal truths. Lower or more external truths are those that are to be seen in the literal sense of the Word and are suited to the mental grasp of the natural man. It is these that are dealt with next.
