创世记 20

1 亚伯拉罕从那里向南迁去,寄居在加低斯和书珥中间的基拉耳。

2 亚伯拉罕称他的妻撒拉为妹子,基拉耳王亚比米勒差人把撒拉取了去。

3 但夜间,,在梦中对亚比米勒:你是个人哪!因为你取了那女人;他原是别人的妻子

4 亚比米勒却还没有亲近撒拉;他:主阿,连有的国,你也要毁灭麽?

5 那人岂不是自己对我他是我的妹子麽?就是女人也自己:他是我的哥哥。我作这事是心正手洁的。

6 在梦中对他:我知道你作这事是心中正直;我也拦阻了你,免得你得罪我,所以我不容你沾着他。

7 现在你把这妻子归还他;因为他是先知,他要为你祷告,使你存活。你若不归还他,你当知道,你和你所有的都必要

8 亚比米勒清起来,召了众臣仆来,将这些事都说给他们听,他们都甚惧

9 亚比米勒召了亚伯拉罕来,对他:你怎麽向我这样行呢?我在甚麽事上得罪了你,你竟使我和我国里的人陷在罪里?你向我行不当行的事了!

10 亚比米勒又对亚伯拉罕:你见了甚麽才做这事呢?

11 亚伯拉罕:我以为这地方的人总不惧怕,必为我妻子的缘故杀我。

12 况且他也实在是我的妹子;他与我是同父异母,後来作了我的妻子

13 叫我离开父家、飘流在外的时候,我对他:我们无论走到甚麽地方,你可以对人:他是我的哥哥;这就是你待我的恩典了。

14 亚比米勒把牛、、仆婢赐亚伯拉罕,又把他的妻子撒拉归还他。

15 亚比米勒又:看哪,我的都在你面前,你可以随意居住

16 又对撒拉:我哥哥子,作为你在阖家人面前遮羞(原文作眼)的,你就在众人面前没有不是了。

17 亚伯拉罕祷告就医好了亚比米勒和他的妻子,并他的众女仆,他们便能生育。

18 耶和华亚伯拉罕的妻子撒拉的缘故,已经使亚比米勒家中的妇人不能生育。

2508. She is my sister. That this signifies rational truth, is evident from the signification of a “sister,” as being rational intellectual truth (see n. 1495). That rational truth is a “sister,” can be seen only from the heavenly marriage; for the things which descend from this have kinships among themselves like the relationships and connections on earth (concerning which see n. 685, 917); and this with indefinite variety. The heavenly marriage itself exists solely between the Divine good and the Divine truth. From this there are conceived in man the intellectual, the rational, and the faculty of knowing; for without conception from the heavenly marriage man cannot possibly be imbued with understanding, with reason, or with knowledge, and consequently cannot be man. In proportion therefore as he receives from the heavenly marriage, in the same proportion is he man. The heavenly marriage is in the Lord Himself, thus the Lord is this marriage itself, for He is the Divine good itself and at the same time the Divine truth. Angels and men are in the heavenly marriage insofar as they are in love to the Lord and in charity toward the neighbor, and insofar as they are thence in faith; that is, insofar as they are in the Lord’s good, and thence in truth; and they are then called “daughters and sons,” and in their relation to one another “sisters and brothers;” but this with differences. The reason why rational truth is called a “sister” is that it is conceived from the influx of the Divine good into the affection of rational truths; the good which is thence in the rational is called a “brother,” and the truth which is thence, a “sister.” But this will be better seen from what is said by Abraham in verse 12 of this chapter: “and moreover truly she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.”
