2031. Verse 9. And God said unto Abraham, And thou shalt keep My covenant, thou and thy seed after thee, unto their generations. “God said unto Abraham,” signifies perception; “and thou shalt keep My covenant,” signifies still closer union; “thou and thy seed after thee,” signifies that from Him there is conjunction with all who have faith in Him; “unto their generations,” signifies the things which are of faith.
