2186、“自己在树下站在他们面前”表示由此产生的感知。这从“树”的含义可推知,“树”是指感知(参看103,2163节)。前面(18:4)说,来到亚伯拉罕这里的三个人斜躺在树下,这句话表示神性要接近对那时主所处的那种状态的感知(2160节)。而此处说,亚伯拉罕站在树下,这句话表示主预备好自己后,便接近神性感知;这是一种相互行为。谁都能看出,没有一个原因,经上不会提到那三个人,还提到亚伯拉罕站在树下;因此,这个细节因隐藏在这些描述里面的奥秘而被包括在内。
Potts(1905-1910) 2186
2186. And he stood before them under the tree. That this signifies the derivative perception, follows from the signification of a "tree," as being perception (see n. 103, 2163). It has been already stated (verse 4), that the three men who came to Abraham lay down under a tree, by which was signified that the Divine approached the perception of that state in which the Lord then was. But it is here said that Abraham stood under the tree, by which is signified that the Lord approached Divine perception, after He had prepared Himself; and this is the reciprocality. Everyone can see that it is not without a cause, that mention is made of the three men and of Abraham standing under a tree, consequently that it was said for the sake of the arcana which lie hidden in these things.
Elliott(1983-1999) 2186
2186. 'And he stood before them under the tree' means consequent perception. This follows from the meaning of 'a tree' as perception, dealt with in 103, 2163. Above in verse 4 it was stated that the three men who came to Abraham were to recline under the tree, which meant that the Divine was to draw near to the perception of that state which was the Lord's at that time. Here however it is said that Abraham stood under the tree, which means that the Lord drew near to the Divine perception after He had prepared Himself, which is a reciprocal action. Anyone may see that it is not without a reason that reference is made to the three men and to Abraham standing under the tree, and that therefore this detail was included because of the arcana that lie hidden within these descriptions.
Latin(1748-1756) 2186
2186. `Et ille stans ante illos sub arbore': quod significet perceptionem inde, sequitur ex significatione `arboris' quod sit perceptio, de qua n. 103, 2163; supra vers. 4 dictum quod `tres viri qui venerunt ad Abrahamum, incumberent sub arbore,' quibus significatum quod Divinum accederet ad perceptionem illius statu" in quo tunc fuit Dominus; hic autem dicitur quod `Abraham steterit sub arbore,' quo significatur quod Dominus accesserit ad perceptionem Divinam, postquam Se praeparaverit, quod reciprocum est; quisque videre potest quod non absque causa sit, quod dictum de tribus viris et de Abrahamo, quod `steterint sub arbore,' proinde quod dictum propter arcana illa quae in illis latent.
