1918. Verse 6 And Abram said to Sarai, Behold, your servant-girl is in your hand; do to her what is good in your eyes. And Sarai humiliated her, and she fled from her face.

'Abram said to Sarai' means perception. 'Behold, your servant-girl is in your hand' means that this rational was conceived from the controlling power of the affection for truth allied to good. 'Do to her what is good in your eyes' means complete control over. 'And Sarai humiliated her' means subjection.

'And she fled from her face' means the anger of this rational conceived first.
