Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 3291

3291. 'And she went to inquire of Jehovah' means a state of communication. This is clear from the meaning of 'inquiring' as communicating when said of the Lord. Actually it was Jehovah within Himself who was being inquired of. In the historical sense however that communication is expressed as 'praying', 3285, and the state of communication as 'inquiring'.
