3381、“都因亚伯拉罕听从我的嗓音”表示主的神性本质与人身或人性本质通过试探实现的合一。这从“亚伯拉罕”的代表和“听从我的嗓音”的含义清楚可知：“亚伯拉罕”也指神性人身方面的主（参看2833， 2836， 3251节）；“听从我的嗓音”当论及主时，是指通过试探将神性本质与人身或人性合一，因为在圣言中，顺服被归于主与试探有关。此处提到亚伯拉罕听从是指22章关于亚伯拉罕所说的话，即：当神试验他时，对他说，带着你的儿子，把他献为燔祭（创世记22:1-2）。当亚伯拉罕听从祂的嗓音时，经上说：
现在我知道你是敬畏神的，没有将你的儿子，就是你的独子，留下不给我。耶和华说，我指着自己起誓，你既行了这事，不留下你的儿子，就是你的独子，我必赐福给你，我必使你的种繁多，如同天上的星。（创世记22:12， 16-17）
“没有将你的儿子，就是你的独子，留下不给我”（这就是“听从祂的嗓音”）表示人身或人性与神性通过最后的试探所实现的合一（参看2827， 2844节）。主在客西马尼园所说的话也证明，这就是“听从耶和华或父的嗓音”的意思：
我父啊，倘若可能，就让这杯离开我吧。然而，不要照我所愿的，只要照你所愿的。第二次又祷告说，我父啊，这杯若不能离开我，非要我喝不可，就愿你的旨意成就。（马太福音26:39， 42；马可福音14:36；路加福音22:42）
但由于耶和华或父在祂里面，或祂在父里面，父在祂里面（约翰福音14:10-11），所以“听从耶和华的嗓音”表示主凭自己的能力通过试探将神性与人身或人性合一，这也可从主自己在约翰福音中的话清楚看出来：
正如父认识我，我也认识父一样，并且我为绵羊放弃生命。因此，父爱我，因我放弃生命，好再把它取回来。没有人从我这里夺去生命，是我自己放弃的。我有权柄放弃它，也有权柄把它取回来；这个命令，我从我父领受了。（约翰福音10:15， 17-18）
主凭自己的能力通过试探将其神性本质与人身或人性本质合一（参看1663， 1668， 1690， 1691e， 1725， 1729， 1733， 1737， 1787， 1789， 1812， 1820， 2776， 3318e节）。

3381. Because that Abraham hearkened to My voice. That this signifies the union of the Lord's Divine Essence with the Human Essence through temptations, is evident from the representation of Abraham, as being the Lord as to the Divine Human also (see n. 2833, 2836, 3251) and from the signification of "hearkening to My voice," when predicated of the Lord, as being to unite the Divine Essence to the Human through temptations, for in the Word it is from these that obedience is predicated of the Lord. What is here said has reference to that which is related concerning Abraham in chapter 22, namely, that God tempted him, and said unto him that he should take his son and offer him for a burnt-offering (verses 1, 2); and when he hearkened to this voice, it is said:
Now I know that thou fearest God, and thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, from Me. In Myself have I sworn saith Jehovah, because thou hast done this word, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens (Gen. 22:12, 16-17);
that by "not withholding thy son, thine only one, from Me" (which was "hearkening to the voice") is signified the unition of the Human with the Divine through the last of temptation, may be seen above (n. 2827, 2844). That this is meant by "hearkening to the voice of Jehovah," or "the Father," is evident also from the words of the Lord in Gethsemane:
My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless not My will but Thine be done: again a second time, My Father, if this cup cannot pass from Me except I drink it, Thy will be done (Matt. 26:39, 42; Mark 14:36; Luke 22:42). But inasmuch as Jehovah or the Father was in Him, or He in the Father and the Father in Him (John 14:10-11), by "hearkening to the voice of Jehovah" is meant that the Lord united the Divine to the Human through temptations, by His own power; as is also evident from the words of the Lord Himself in John:
As the Father knoweth Me, and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. Therefore doth the Father love Me, because I lay down My life, that I may take it again. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received from My Father (John 10:15, 17, 18). (That the Lord by His own power united His Divine Essence to His Human Essence through temptations, may be seen above, n. 1663, 1668, 1690, 1691, 1725, 1729, 1733, 1737, 1787, 1789, 1812, 1820, 2776, 3318.)

3381. 'Because Abraham hearkened to My voice' means the union of the Lord's Divine Essence with the Human Essence by means of temptations. This is clear from the representation of 'Abraham' as the Lord even as to the Divine Human, dealt with in 2833, 2836, 3251, and from the meaning of 'hearkening to My voice' when it has reference to the Lord, as uniting the Divine Essence to the Human Essence by means of temptations, for it is in connection with temptations that in the Word obedience is attributed to the Lord. The mention of Abraham's hearkening here is a reference to what was said about him in Chapter 22, When God tempted him He told him to take his son and offer him as a burnt offering, verses 1, 2. And when he hearkened to His voice it is said,
Now I know that you fear God and have not withheld your only son from Me. By Myself I have sworn, says Jehovah, that because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will certainly bless you, and I will certainly multiply your seed like the stars of the heavens. Gen 22:12, 16, 17.
'Not withholding your only son from Me', which was 'hearkening to His voice', means the union of the Human and the Divine effected by means of the final degree of temptation, see 2827, 2844.
[2] That these considerations are meant by hearkening to the voice of Jehovah, or the Father, is also evident from the Lord's words uttered in Gethsemane, in Matthew,
My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless not as I will but as You will. Again, for the second time, My Father, if this cup cannot pass from Me unless I drink it, Your will he done. Matt 26:39, 42; Mark 14:36; Luke 22:42.
But because Jehovah or the Father was within Him, that is, He was in the Father and Father in Him - John 14:10, 11 - 'hearkening to Jehovah's voice' is used to mean that the Lord through temptations united the Divine to the Human by His own power, as is also clear from the Lord's own words in John,
As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father, and I lay down My life,a for the sheep. For this reason the Father loves Me, that I lay down My life,a so that I may receive it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself; I have power to lay it down and I have power to receive it again; this commandment I have received from My Father. John 10:15, 17, 18.
Through temptations the Lord united His Divine Essence to His Human Essence by His own power, see 1663, 1668, 1690, 1691 (end), 1725, 1729, 1733, 1737, 1787, 1789, 1812, 1820, 2776, 3318 (end).
