10615. 'And proclaimed the name of Jehovah' means worship of the Lord springing from the truths and forms of the good of faith and love, and so preparation for reception. This is clear from the meaning of 'proclaiming the name of Jehovah' as worship of the Lord springing from the truths and forms of the good of faith and love. For 'proclaiming' means worship, see 440, 2724, while 'the name of Jehovah' means everything in its entirety by which the Lord is worshipped, thus everything of faith and love, 2724, 6674, 9310, and also the Lord's Divine Human, 2628, 6887, 'Jehovah' in the Word being the Lord, see in the places referred to in 9373. From all this it is evident that 'proclaiming the name of Jehovah' means worship of the Lord springing from the truths and forms of the good of faith and love. The reason why preparation for being received is also meant is that the subject in what follows immediately after this is the Israelite nation who were to be received and for whom Moses prayed.

2628. 'Abraham called the name of his son born to him' means the nature of the Rational was such that it was Divine. This is clear from the representation of 'Abraham' as the Lord as regards the Divine celestial or Divine Good, dealt with many times already; from the meaning of 'calling the name' as the essential nature, dealt with in 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009; and from the meaning of 'a son' as the rational, dealt with in 2623, as well as from the meaning of 'born to him' as being manifested from the Divine. From this it is evident that 'Abraham called the name of his son born to him' means that the nature of the Rational was such that it was Divine. From these few words the following three arcana shine through to those who possess the internal sense. The first is that the Lord's Divine Human was a manifestation from the Divine itself, an arcanum which is explained further in this verse; the second is that the Lord's Divine Human was not only conceived but also born from Jehovah, and therefore the Lord as regards the Divine Human is called the Son of God and the Only Begotten, John 1:14, 18, 49; 3:16, 18, 35-36; 5:19-27; 6:69; 9:35; 10:36; 11:27; 14:13-14; 17:1; 20:31; and similarly in the other Evangelists; and the third arcanum is that the Lord's Divine Human is meant by the name of Jehovah, that is, His nature, see John 12:28.
