2002. Verse 4. I, behold, My covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be for a father of a multitude of nations. “I, behold, My covenant is with thee,” signifies the union of the Divine Essence with the Human Essence; “and thou shalt be for a father of a multitude of nations,” signifies the union of the Human Essence with the Divine Essence; “father” signifies that it would be from the Lord Himself; “a multitude” signifies truth; “of nations” signifies the good thence derived.
