118. Verse 14 And the name of the third river is the Hiddekel. This eastwards towards Asshur. And the fourth river is the Phrath.

'The river Hiddekel' is reason or the sharp-sightedness of reason. 'Asshur' is the rational mind. The river's 'going eastwards towards Asshur' means that the sharp-sightedness of reason comes from the Lord by way of the internal man into the rational mind, which belongs to the external man. 'The Phrath' or the Euphrates is knowledge, which is the extremity or boundary.

1 Kings第10章:1-3

学习

      

1 When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of Yahweh, she came to prove him with hard questions.

2 She came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bore spices, and very much gold, and precious stones; and when she was come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was in her heart.

3 Solomon told her all her questions: there was not anything hidden from the king which he didn't tell her.
