1615. Verse 18 And Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt in the oak-groves of Mamre which are in Hebron, and there he built an altar to Jehovah.

'Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt in the oak-groves of Mamre which are in Hebron' means that the Lord arrived at a perception more interior still. This is the sixth state. 'And there he built an altar to Jehovah' means worship as the outcome of that state.

1452. 'And he pitched his tent' means the holy things of faith. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'a tent' as the holiness of love, and consequently the holiness of faith deriving from love, as shown already in 414. His pitching his tent there means that this was now beginning.
