1485. That 'he treated Abram well for her sake' means that the facts residing with the Lord were multiplied is clear from the meaning of 'treating well' as enriching. This is said in reference to knowledge, meant by 'Pharaoh', in that it 'treated Abram well', that is, was a benefit to the Lord when a boy, and was so 'for her sake', that is, for the sake of the intellectual truth which He desired. It was this desire for truth that caused the enriching.
