AC 1401, 1402 - Abram; AC 1405 - the Word's internal sense

AC 1401, 1402 - Genesis 12
True historical things begin here,
all of which are representative,
and each word significative (carrying a spiritual meaning).
The things related in this chapter concerning Abram
represent the Lord's state from earliest childhood up to youth.
As the Lord was born in the same way as other men,
He also advanced from an obscure state to one more lucid.
. . . The progress from memory-knowledges [facts]
even to celestial truths is described;
this was according to Divine order,
that the Lord's Human Essence
might be conjoined with His Divine Essence,
and at the same time become Jehovah.

AC 1405
. . . the internal sense is such
that every single thing has to be understood apart from the letter,
abstractedly - as though the letter did not exist;
for within the internal sense reside the soul and life of the Word,
which are not open to view
unless the sense of the letter so to speak vanishes.
This is how angels are led by the Lord to perceive the Word
when it is being read by a person.
