This is clear from the meaning of 'buying' as redemption, dealt with in 6458, 6461; from the representation of 'Abraham' as the Lord, dealt with in 1965, 1989, 2011, 2172, 2198, 3245, 3305 (end), 3439; 3703, 4615, 6098, 6185, 6276; and from the meaning of 'the field' as the Church, dealt with in 2971, 3766. From all this it is evident that 'which Abraham had bought with the field' means those belonging to the Church, whom the Lord had redeemed.
