2500、“亚伯拉罕从那里向南地迁移”表示主在信之良善与真理上的进展。这从“迁移”和“南地”的含义清楚可知：“迁移”是指取得进展（参看1457节）；“南地”是指信之良善与真理（参看1458节）。关于亚伯拉罕，第12章说他进入埃及时，“又起程，向南方去行进”（创世记12:9-10），这在内义上表示当主还是个孩子时，就由认知构成的记忆知识而言，祂前进到良善和真理（1456，1459节）。本节说他“向南地迁移”，这表示更进一步、更内在的进展，这次是就信之教义而言，在良善和真理上取得的进展。这就是为何此处用“南地”这个词，因为从严格意义上说，“地”表示教会，教义是为教会而存在的（566，662，1066，2117，2118节）。
至于总体上主的教导，它的性质从本章的内义很清楚地看出来，即：祂是通过整个一连串的启示，因而通过来自祂自己，也就是来自祂的神性的神性感知和思维被教导的。祂将这些感知和思维植入神性的聪明和智慧，并持续如此行，直到实现祂的人身或人性与神性的完美合一。这种变得智慧的方式对任何人来说，都是不可能的，因为流入主的东西来自神性本身，也就是祂的至内层，因它来自父，祂从父成孕。因此，它来自唯独主所拥有的神性之爱本身，而神性之爱就在于祂渴望拯救整个人类。
一个至今几乎无人知晓的奥秘是，爱本身就含有智慧和聪明在里面；但这些智慧和聪明的性质取决于爱的性质。智慧和聪明之所以在爱里面，是因为一切流注都进入爱，或也可说，进入良善，从而进入人的生命本身。这就是无法形容的天使的智慧和聪明的源头。这也是那些处于对主之爱和对邻之仁之人的智慧和聪明的源头；尽管活在肉身时，他们在自己里面没有感知到这种智慧和聪明，但死后会进入它们，因为它们就存在于爱本身和仁本身里面（参看2494节）。至于主的爱，它无限高于天使所拥有的爱，因为它是神性之爱本身；因此，祂拥有一切智慧和聪明的最顶点在里面。然而，祂因生而为人，要像其他人一样照着神性秩序发展，所以逐渐把自己引入对这种天赋的使用。通过这种方式，祂就可以将祂的人身或人性与神性合一，使祂的人身或人性成为神性，并且靠自己的能力如此行。

2500. Abraham journeyed thence toward the land of the south. That this signifies the Lord's progression in the goods and truths of faith, is evident from the signification of "journeying," as being to progress (see n. 1457); and from the signification of the "land of the south," as being the good and truth of faith (see n. 1458). It has already been stated concerning Abraham, in the twelfth chapter, that he "journeyed, going and journeying toward the south," when he went into Egypt (verses 9, 10); by which was signified in the internal sense that the Lord when a child progressed into goods and truths in respect to the memory-knowledge of knowledges (n. 1456, 1459);* and here it is said that he journeyed "toward the land of the south," by which there is signified a further and more interior progression, which is into goods and truths in respect to the doctrine of faith; on which account it is here said the "land" of the south, because "land" in its proper sense signifies the church, for the sake of which is doctrine (n. 566, 662, 1066, 2117, 2118). [2] As regards the Lord's instruction in general, the nature of it is very clear in the internal sense of this chapter; namely, that it was by continual revelations, and thus by Divine perceptions and thoughts from Himself, that is, from His Divine; which perceptions and thoughts He implanted in Divine intelligence and wisdom, and this even to the perfect union of His Human with His Divine. This way of growing wise is not possible with any man; for it flowed in from the Divine itself, which was His inmost, being of the Father, of whom He was conceived; thus from the Divine Love itself, which the Lord alone had, and which consisted in His desire to save the universal human race. [3] It is an arcanum which is as yet known to scarcely anyone, that within love itself there are wisdom and intelligence; these being such as is the love. That wisdom and intelligence are within love comes from the fact that all influx takes place into the love, or what is the same, into the good, thus into man's very life. This is the source of the wisdom and intelligence of the angels, which is ineffable. It is also the source of the wisdom and intelligence of men who are in love to the Lord and in charity toward the neighbor; who, although they have no perception of it in themselves while they are living in the body, nevertheless come into it after death, for the reason that it is within this very love and charity (see n. 2494). But as regards the Lord's love, it was infinitely above the love in which the angels are, for it was the Divine love itself; and therefore He had in Himself a supereminence of all wisdom and intelligence; into which however because He was born a man, and was to progress as a man according to Divine order, He introduced Himself by successive steps, in order that He might thus unite His Human to the Divine, and make it Divine; and this by His own power. * That is in respect to possessing a mere memory acquaintance with the knowledges of what is good and true.

2500. 'Abraham travelled from there towards the land of the south' means the Lord's advances in goods and truths of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'travelling' as advancing, dealt with in 1457, and from the meaning of 'the land of the south' as the good and truth of faith, dealt with in 1458. Previously in Chapter 12 it was said of Abraham when entering Egypt that 'he travelled, going on and travelling towards the south', verses 9, 10, which meant in the internal sense that the Lord, when a boy, made advances into goods and truths as regards knowledge consisting of cognitions, 1456, 1459. Now in the present chapter it is said that he travelled towards the land of the south, which means further and more interior advances, made this time into goods and truths as regards the doctrine of faith. This is why the expression 'the land of the south' is used here, for 'land' in its proper sense means the Church, for whose sake doctrine exists, 566, 662, 1066, 2117, 2118.
[2] As regards the Lord's instruction in general, the nature of it is quite plain from the internal sense of this chapter. From that sense it is plain that He was taught through a whole succession of revelations and so through Divine perceptions and thoughts from Himself, that is, from His Divine. These perceptions and thoughts He implanted in Divine intelligence and wisdom, and continued to do so until the perfect union of His Human and His Divine had been effected. This way of becoming wise is not at all open to anyone else, for it sprang from the Divine itself, which was His inmost, being the Father's, from whom He had been conceived. Thus it sprang from the Divine Love itself which the Lord alone possessed and which constituted His desire to save the entire human race.
[3] It is an arcanum as yet known by scarcely anyone that love itself holds wisdom and intelligence within it, but that the nature of these is determined by that of the love. The reason wisdom and intelligence exist within love is that all influx takes place into the love, or what amounts to the same, into the good, and so into the life itself of man. This is the source of the wisdom and intelligence possessed by angels, which are beyond description. It is the source also of the wisdom and intelligence possessed by men who are governed by love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour. Although during their lifetime the latter do not discern at all the presence with them of such wisdom and intelligence, they nevertheless enter into these after death for the reason that they exist within love itself and within charity itself, see 2494. As for the Lord's love however, this was infinitely higher than the love which exists in angels, for it was Divine Love itself, and therefore He had within Himself the acme of all wisdom and intelligence. Yet into the possession of this, because He was born a human being (homo) and advanced as a human being does according to Divine order, He entered by successive degrees so that He might in that way unite His Human to the Divine and make it Divine, doing so by His own power.

2500. `Profectus est inde Abraham versus terram meridiei quod significet progressionem Domini in bonis et veris fidei, constat a significatione `proficisci' quod sit progredi, de qua n. 1457; et significatione `terrae meridiei' quod sit bonum et verum fidei, de qua n. 1458.

[3] Est arcanum quod vix adhuc alicui notum est quod in ipso amore insit {4} sapientia et intelligentia, sed qualis amor talis est; quod in amore insit sapientia et intelligentia, inde est, quia omnis influxus fit in amorem, seu quod idem, in bonum, ita in ipsam vitam hominis; inde est sapientia et intelligentia angelorum, quae ineffabilis; inde etiam sapientia et intelligentia hominum qui in amore in Dominum et charitate erga proximum; hi tametsi eam apud se non appercipiunt dum vivunt in corpore, usque in illam post obitum veniunt, ex causa quia illa in ipso amore et in ipsa charitate inest, videatur n. 2494. Quod autem amorem Domini attinet, ille fuit infinite supra amorem in quo sunt angeli, fuit enim ipse Divinus, quare in se habuit supereminens omnis sapientiae et intelligentiae, in quod tamen, quia natus homo et progressurus sicut homo secundum ordinem Divinum, successive Se induxit, ut Humanum Suum ita uniret Divino, et faceret Divinum, et hoc propria potentia. @1 profectus$ @2 First draft has quibus similiter significatur progressio sed hic non in scientiam cognitionum, ut prius, verum in illis qui sunt ipsius doctrinae, quae fidei appellatur, sed quae est charitatis.
