17
εἰσήκουσεν δὲ ὁ θεὸς τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ παιδίου ἐκ τοῦ τόπου οὗ ἦν καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ἄγγελος τοῦ θεοῦ τὴν αγαρ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ τί ἐστιν αγαρ μὴ φοβοῦ ἐπακήκοεν γὰρ ὁ θεὸς τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ παιδίου σου ἐκ τοῦ τόπου οὗ ἐστιν
Genesis 21:17
Arcana Coelestia # 2653
2653. 'Whom she had borne to Abraham' means that it was given manifestation from the Divine celestial as a father. This is clear from the meaning of 'bearing' as giving manifestation to, dealt with in 2621, 2629, and from the representation of 'Abraham' as the Divine celestial, dealt with in 1989, 2011, 2172, 2198, 2501. That this rational was a manifestation from the Lord's Divine celestial as a father, see 1895, 1896, 1902, 1910.
