AC 3392
And behold Isaac was laughing with Rebekah his woman.
(Genesis 26:8)
That this signifies that Divine good was present in Divine truth,
or that Divine good was adjoined to Divine truth,
is evident from the representation of Isaac,
as being the Divine good of the Lord's rational;
from the signification of "laughing,"
as being the love or affection of truth;
and from the representation of Rebekah,
as being the Divine truth of the Lord's rational.
Consequently it is evident
that "Isaac laughing with Rebekah his woman"
signifies that Divine good was present with Divine truth.
The sense of the words in the series is that at first
spiritual truth is received for the reason that it is called Divine;
and afterwards because the Divine is in it,
which is clearly seen by those who are being regenerated
and are becoming people of the spiritual church.
These are they who are meant by "Abimelech;"
that is, who are in the doctrine of faith,
and look to truths in knowledges.
