Arcana Coelestia # 3259
3259. 'So it was after the death of Abraham' means after the state and period of the representation of the Lord by means of Abraham. This is clear from the meaning of 'dying', when the representative life of someone is the subject, as the end of representation by means of that someone, dealt with above in 3253. Consequently here 'after the death of Abraham' means after the state and period of the representation of the Lord by means of Abraham.
Genesis 25:7
7
These are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived: one hundred seventy-five years.
