14 and it hath been, the young person unto whom I say, Incline, I pray thee, thy pitcher, and I drink, and she hath said, drink, and I water also thy camels) -- her Thou hast decided for Thy servant, for Isaac; and by it I know that Thou hast done kindness with my lord.'

3184. 'And Abraham's servant and his men' means from the Divine things within the natural man. This is clear from the meaning of 'Abraham's servant' as the natural man, dealt with in 3019, 3020, and from the meaning of 'his men' as all things in the natural man, dealt with in 3169. Their being Divine things within the natural man is evident from the consideration that the servant had been sent by Abraham, who, as shown many times already, represents the Lord's Divine.
