3045. And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord. That this signifies the pledging of the natural man, according to power, to the good of conjugial love, is evident from what was said above (n. 3021), where also the same words occur.

Arcana Coelestia #3006

3006. These are the things the angels perceive when “Jesus Christ” is named; and this is what is meant when it is said that there is salvation in no other name, as also by the Lord so often speaking of His “name.” As in John:

Whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do (John 14:13).

In the same:

These things are written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye may have life in His name (John 20:31); and in other places.

That the “name” is all in one complex by which the Lord is worshiped, and thus denotes the quality of all worship and doctrine, may be seen above (n. 2724); and therefore here it denotes the good of love and of charity conjoined with the truth of faith, which is the complex of all doctrine and of all worship.
