23 Ja Aabraham võttis oma poja Ismaeli ja kõik oma peres sündinud, ja kõik raha eest ostetud, kõik meesterahvad Aabrahami pere inimeste hulgast, ja lõikas ümber nende eesnaha liha, otse selsamal päeval, nõnda nagu Jumal teda oli käskinud.

2070. Verse 17 And Abraham fell on his face 1 and laughed, and said in his heart, Will one be born to a son of a hundred years? And will Sarah, a daughter of ninety years, give birth?

'Abraham fell on his face' 1 means adoration. 'And laughed' means the affection for truth. 'And said in his heart' means that He so thought. 'Will one be born to a son of a hundred years?' means that in that case the Rational belonging to the Lord's Human Essence would be united to the Divine Essence. 'And will Sarah, a daughter of ninety years, give birth?' means that truth joined to good will achieve this.
