2626. 'As God had spoken to him' means as He had willed. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'speaking' as thinking, dealt with in 2271, 2287, 2619; but here willing is meant for the reason that it was 'God' who is said to have spoken, and thinking in the case of the Divine is His willing.

2620. Verse 2 And Sarah conceived and bore to Abraham a son in his old age, at the appointed time, as God had spoken to him.

'Conceived and bore' means received essential being and was given manifestation. 'Sarah to Abraham' means from the Lord's Divine spiritual united to His Divine celestial. 'A son' means the Divine Rational. 'In his old age' means when the days had been completed for the human to be cast off. 'At the appointed time' means when the Rational was such that it was receptive. 'As God had spoken to him' means as He had willed.
