3281. And Isaac was a son of forty years. That this signifies from His own power by temptation combats, is evident from the representation of Isaac, as being the Divine rational, as already frequently explained; from the signification of “forty,” as being temptations (n. 730, 862); and from the signification of “years,” as being states (n. 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788). Hence the internal sense of these words is that the Lord made His rational Divine also as to truth, by temptation combats, thus by His own power. (That the Lord by His own power through temptations admitted into Himself made all the human in Himself Divine, was shown above, n. 1616, 1663, 1668, 1690, 1787, 2083, 2523, 2632, 2776, 3030, 3043, 3141)
486. Verse 4. And the days of Man after he begat Seth were eight hundred years, and he begat sons and daughters. By “days” are signified times and states in general; by “years” times and states in special; by “sons and daughters” are signified the truths and goods which they perceived.
