HH.0.0.1, (주4).AC.1709, '말씀은 오직 상응으로만 기록되었다'(창14:14)

※ (주4). The Word is written solely by correspondences, and for this reason each thing and all things in it have a spiritual meaning (n. 1404, 1408, 1409, 1540, 1619, 1659, 1709, 1783, 2900, 9086).

 

창14:14

아브람이 그의 조카가 사로잡혔음을 듣고 집에서 길리고 훈련된 자 삼백십팔 명을 거느리고 단까지 쫓아가서 And Abram heard that his brother was taken captive; and he hastened his trained men that were born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued unto Dan.

 

 

1706

“Abram heard that his brother was taken captive” signifies that the interior man perceived in what state was the external man; “and he hastened his trained men that were born in his house” signifies those goods in the external man that were now delivered from the yoke of servitude; “three hundred and eighteen” signifies their quality; “and pursued unto Dan” signifies the commencement of purification.

 

1707

아브람이 그의 조카가 사로잡혔음을 듣고 Abram heard that his brother was taken captive.

 

1708

집에서 길리고 훈련된 자를 거느리고 And he hastened his trained men that were born in his house.

 

1709

삼백십팔 명 Three hundred and eighteen men.

 

That this signifies their quality, namely, that they are the holy things of combat, is involved in the number “eighteen,” and also in the number “three hundred”; for these numbers are composed of three and six. “Three” signifies what is holy (as shown n. 720, 901); and “six” combat (as shown n. 737, 900). That Abram hastened so many, is an historical truth but still it was representative, as is all the history in the Word in the five books of Moses, in Joshua, in Judges, in Samuel, in the Kings, in Daniel, and in Jonah, where the numbers in like manner involve arcana; for nothing has been written in the Word which was not of this nature, otherwise it would not be the Word, and otherwise it would not have been related that Abram hastened three hundred and eighteen; and also that these were in training, and born in his house; besides many other things which are said in this chapter.

단까지 쫓아가서 And pursued even to Dan.
