2616. 'Jehovah visited Sarah' means the presence of the Divine celestial within the Divine spiritual. This is clear from the meaning of Jehovah as the Divine celestial, that is, the Divine Good, or Being (Esse) itself, which because it is the source of love and mercy is Good itself; from the meaning of 'visiting' as being present; and from the meaning of 'Sarah' as the Divine spiritual, that is, Divine Truth, dealt with in 1468, 1901, 2063, 2065, 2507.

2507. 'Of Sarah his wife' means spiritual truth joined to the celestial. This is clear from the meaning of 'Sarah his wife' as intellectual truth joined to Divine Good, or what amounts to the same, spiritual truth joined to the celestial, dealt with in 1468, 1901, 2063, 2065, 2172, 2173, 2198. What the spiritual is, and what the celestial, has been stated quite often already, see 1155, 1577, 1824, 2048, 2088. That is called the celestial which consists in good, that is, which consists in love to the Lord and in charity towards the neighbour; and that is called the spiritual which consists in truth, that is, which consists in faith deriving from love and charity.
