Και επεσεν ο Αβρααμ επι προσωπον αυτου και εγελασε, και ειπεν εν τη καρδια αυτου, Εις ανθρωπον εκατονταετη θελει γεννηθη τεκνον; και η Σαρρα, γυνη ενενηκοντα ετων, θελει γεννησει;

That this signifies aid, is evident from the signification of “to hear,” as being to obey (see n. 2542, 3869, 4652-4660, 5017), but when said of the Lord it denotes to provide and bring aid, for the Lord hears him to whom He brings aid; and from the signification of “groaning,” as being sorrow by reason of the attempt to subjugate by falsities.
