1 και ειπεν κυριος προς με ετι πορευθητι και αγαπησον γυναικα αγαπωσαν πονηρα και μοιχαλιν καθως αγαπα ο θεος τους υιους ισραηλ και αυτοι αποβλεπουσιν επι θεους αλλοτριους και φιλουσιν πεμματα μετα σταφιδων

2 και εμισθωσαμην εμαυτω πεντεκαιδεκα αργυριου και γομορ κριθων και νεβελ οινου

3 και ειπα προς αυτην ημερας πολλας καθηση επ' εμοι και ου μη πορνευσης ουδε μη γενη ανδρι ετερω και εγω επι σοι

4 διοτι ημερας πολλας καθησονται οι υιοι ισραηλ ουκ οντος βασιλεως ουδε οντος αρχοντος ουδε ουσης θυσιας ουδε οντος θυσιαστηριου ουδε ιερατειας ουδε δηλων

5 και μετα ταυτα επιστρεψουσιν οι υιοι ισραηλ και επιζητησουσιν κυριον τον θεον αυτων και δαυιδ τον βασιλεα αυτων και εκστησονται επι τω κυριω και επι τοις αγαθοις αυτου επ' εσχατων των ημερων

2236. 'In order that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham that which He has spoken concerning him' means that the Human Essence will for that reason be joined to the Divine Essence. This is not so clear from the meaning of the words here, but it is clear from the consideration that everything stated in the Word implies the Lord's Coming to unite the Human Essence to the Divine Essence, by means of which, once these were united, He would save the human race. These are the things that are meant in the internal sense by the statement that He would bring upon Abraham that which He had spoken concerning him.
