AC 1731

. . . the signification of "blessing,"
as to enjoy all goods.

AC 1732, 1741

By "Abram," as before said,
is signified the interior or rational man
which is to be united to the internal man or Jehovah,
and this by the combats of temptations and victories.
For with the interior man the case is as follows.
The interior man, as before said,
is intermediate between the internal and the external man,
and enables the internal man to flow into the external;
for without the interior man there is no communication.
There is thus effected a communication
of celestial things, and of spiritual.
When the communication was of celestial things,
the interior man was called "Melchizedek;"
but when there is a communication of spiritual things,
it is called "Abram the Hebrew."

 In the two chapters which precede,
Abram represented the Lord or His state in childhood;
here in this chapter, he represents the Lord's rational,
and is then called "Abram the Hebrew;"
. . . and here the representation is the same;
for in this chapter
no other Abram is meant than Abram the Hebrew.
The Lord's spiritual which is adjoined to His internal man
is Abram the Hebrew
but the celestial which is adjoined to His internal man
is represented and signified by Melchizedek,
as before said.
