1410、“耶和华对亚伯兰说”表示对所有事物的第一个意识。情况是这样：这一历史事件具有代表性，这些话本身具有灵义。这是古教会的风格，即：如果某事是真的，他们就会说“耶和华说（say）”，或“耶和华讲（speak）”，这表示事情就是这样，如前所示（630，708，926，1020，1037节）。然而，具有灵义的事物转变为代表后，这时耶和华，即主，就直接对他们说话。当此时经上说，耶和华说，或耶和华对某人说时，它的含义和前面一样，因为主在真实历史中的话与祂在虚构历史中的话具有相同含义。唯一区别在于，后者被虚构成真实历史，而前者不是这样虚构的。所以“耶和华对亚伯兰说”只表示第一个意识；如当古教会中有人通过良心，或某种其它内在声音，或他们的圣言意识到某事是这样时，他们也会说“耶和华说”。

[NCE]1410. Jehovah said to Abram symbolizes a first realization. The situation is this: The recorded fact is representative, but the actual words are symbolic. The ancient church's method of expression was such that when a thing was true, they would say, "Jehovah said," or "Jehovah spoke," meaning that it was so, as shown before [搂搂630, 708, 926, 1020, 1037].
After symbolism turned into representation, Jehovah (or the Lord) really did speak with people, and then when it says that Jehovah said something or that Jehovah spoke with someone, it has the same meaning as it did earlier.{*1} The Lord's words in the historical parts entail much the same thing that his words in the fictional parts do. The only difference is that the authors of the latter make up what seems to be a true story, while the authors of the former do not make it up.
This clause, then 钬?"Jehovah said to Abram" 钬?symbolizes nothing else than a first realization. In the ancient church, for instance, when people realized that a thing was so, because either conscience or some other inner voice or their Scriptures told them it was, they too said, "Jehovah said."

1410. Jehovah said unto Abram. That this signifies the first mental advertence of all, depends upon the fact that this historical is representative, and the words themselves significative. Such was the style in the Ancient Church, that when anything was true, they said "Jehovah said," or, "Jehovah spoke," which signified that it was so; as has been shown above. But after significatives had been turned into representatives, then Jehovah or the Lord did actually speak with men; and when it is then said that Jehovah said, or, Jehovah spoke with anyone, it signifies the same as before; for the Lord's words in the true historicals involve the same as His words in the made-up ones. There is only this difference, that the latter are composed to be like true history, and the former are not so composed. Wherefore that "Jehovah said unto Abram," signifies nothing else than the first mental advertence; as when in the Ancient Church anyone was admonished by conscience, or by some other dictate, or by their Word, that a thing was so, it was then said in like manner that "Jehovah said."

1410. The implications of 'Jehovah said to Abram' meaning a first awareness of all things are as follows: The historical incident is representative, but the actual words describing it carry a spiritual meaning. Such was the style in the Ancient Church that if something was true people would say 'Jehovah said' or 'Jehovah spoke', which, as shown already, meant that it was so Subsequently however when things carrying a spiritual meaning were converted into representatives, Jehovah - that is, the Lord - at that point spoke to them directly. And when it is then said that 'Jehovah said' or 'Jehovah spoke' to somebody, it has the same meaning as previously, for the Lord's words in the true historical narratives embody within them the same as the Lord's words in the made-up ones. The only difference is that the latter contain that which has been made up to be like true narrative whereas the former have not been made up. 'Jehovah said to Abram' therefore means nothing other than a first awareness, as when in the Ancient Church someone through conscience, or through some other dictate, or through their Word, was made aware that something was so, the expression 'Jehovah said' would be used.

1410. 'Dixit Jehovah ad Abramum': quod significet omnium primam animadvertentiam, ita se habet: historicum ibi est repraesentativum, at ipsa verba sunt significativa; in Ecclesia Antiqua talia stilus fuit, cum aliquid verum esset, quod dicerent, 'Jehovah dixit' vel 'Jehovah locutus,' quod significabat ita esse, ut ostensum prius postquam vero significativa versa sunt in repraesentativa, tunc Jehovah seu Dominus actualiter cum iis loquutus, et cum dicitur tunc quod dixit Jehovah seu locutus Jehovah cum aliquo, significat idem ac prius; nam verba Domini in historicis veris simile involvunt ac verba Domini in historicis factis; solum est differentia quod in his factum sit sicut historicum verum, in illis non factum: quare hoc quod dixit Jehovah ad Abramum non aliud significat, quam primam animadvertentiam; sicut cum in Antiqua Ecclesia aliquis animadvertebantur per conscientiam vel per dictamen aliud vel per Verbum eorum quod ita esset, tunc similiter dictum quod 'Jehovah dixit.'
