7 Ja kun sen paikkakunnan miehet kysyivät hänen vaimostansa, sanoi hän: "Hän on minun sisareni". Hän näet pelkäsi sanoa: "Hän on minun vaimoni", sillä hän ajatteli: "Nuo miehet voivat tappaa minut Rebekan tähden, sillä hän on näöltään kaunis".

3409. 'And he had many servants' means truth derived from that good. This is clear from the meaning of 'servants' as everything that is beneath, that has been subordinated, and that is obedient, dealt with in 1713, 2541, 3019, 3020 - thus truth since truth originates in good and ministers to good, dealt with extensively already.

5237. 'A servant of the chief of the attendants' means in which there was truth that served that which came first and foremost in explanations. This is clear from the use of 'a servant' to refer to truth, dealt with in 2567, 3409; and from the meaning of 'the chief of the attendants' as things which come first and foremost in explanations, dealt with in 4790, 4966, 5084. And since truth is of service to explanations - to explanations of the Word - 'a servant of the chief of the attendants' here means truth that is of service.
