These details and those that follow in this chapter also in the internal sense represent the Lord; they continue the subject of His life from childhood. 'Abram went up out of Egypt' means away from the facts which went away from the Lord, 'Abram' in the internal sense being the Lord, here when still a boy; 'Egypt' here, as previously, being knowledge. 'He and his wife' means celestial truths which at that time resided with the Lord. 'And everything he had' means everything belonging to celestial things. 'And Lot with him' means the power of sensory perception. 'Towards the south' means into celestial light.
