3244. Verses 5-6. And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. And to the sons of the concubines that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he was yet living, eastward to the land of the east. “And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac,” signifies in the supreme sense all Divine things in the Divine rational; in the relative sense the celestial things of love in the Lord’s celestial kingdom; “and to the sons of the concubines that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts,” signifies those who are spiritual adopted by the Lord’s Divine Human, that they have allotted places in His spiritual kingdom; “and he sent them away from Isaac his son,” signifies the distinction and separation of those who are spiritual from those who are celestial; “while he was yet living,” signifies to whom he could give life; “eastward to the land of the east,” signifies to the good of faith.
