2070. Verse 17 And Abraham fell on his face 1 and laughed, and said in his heart, Will one be born to a son of a hundred years? And will Sarah, a daughter of ninety years, give birth?

'Abraham fell on his face' 1 means adoration. 'And laughed' means the affection for truth. 'And said in his heart' means that He so thought. 'Will one be born to a son of a hundred years?' means that in that case the Rational belonging to the Lord's Human Essence would be united to the Divine Essence. 'And will Sarah, a daughter of ninety years, give birth?' means that truth joined to good will achieve this.
