2505. Verse 2 And Abraham said of 1 Sarah his wife, She is my sister; and Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.

'Abraham said' means the Lord's thought. 'Of Sarah his wife' means spiritual truth joined to the celestial. 'She is my sister' means rational truth. 'And Abimelech king of Gerar sent' means the doctrine of faith, 'Abimelech' being the doctrine of faith which has regard to rational things. 'And took Sarah' means the affection for consulting the rational.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. The Latin preposition here (ad), like the Hebrew ('el) which it translates, usually means to or towards.
