2810. 'They came to the place of which God told him' means His state at that point according to perception from Divine Truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'place' as state, dealt with above in 2786, and from the meaning of 'saying' in the historical parts of the Word as perceiving, often dealt with already. Here 'God's telling' means perceiving from Divine Truth because the name that is used is 'God', not 'Jehovah', 2586, 2807 (end).
