7664. 'For it is a feast of Jehovah for us' means worship of the Lord offered by every single one. This is clear from the meaning of 'a feast' as worship with gladness of mind, dealt with in 7093. The reason why it is worship of the Lord is that 'Jehovah' in the Word is the Lord, 1343, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5663, 6307, 6905, 6945, 6956. The fact that worship by every single one is meant is evident from what comes immediately before, where it says that they would go with children and old men, with sons and daughters, and with flocks and herds.

3034. Verse 7 Jehovah, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my nativity, and who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, To your seed I will give this land, He will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

'Jehovah, the God of heaven' means the Lord's Divine itself. 'Who took me from my father's house and from the land of my nativity' means the Divine itself by whom the Lord freed Himself from the evils and from the falsities received from the mother. 'And who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying' means the Divine itself from whom came His Divine will and understanding. 'To your seed I will give this land' means the Divine Truth which belonged to the Lord's Human. 'He will send His angel before you' means Divine Providence. 'And you shall take a wife for my son from there' means that the affection for truth came indeed from there, yet from a new source.
