18
for thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: As poured out hath been Mine anger and My fury on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so poured out is My fury upon you in your entering Egypt, and ye have been for an execration, and for an astonishment, and for a reviling, and for a reproach, and ye do not see any more this place.
'Being sent' means coming forth, (or going forth), in the internal sense, as in John 17:8. In similar manner, it is said of the holy of the spirit, that it was 'sent,' that is, it goes forth from the divine of the Lord, as in John 15:26, 16:5, 7.
So, too, the prophets were called 'the sent,' because the words which they spoke went forth from the holy of the spirit of the Lord.
'To be sent,' as in Genesis 37:13, signifies teaching.
