Genesis 20:11
Arcana Coelestia #2521
2521. Verse 5 Did he not say to me, She is my sister? And she herself also said, He is my brother. In the uprightness of my heart and in the blamelessness of my hands have I done this.
'Did he not say to me' means exoneration from having thought in this fashion. 'She is my sister' means that it was the rational which ought to be consulted. 'And she herself also said, He is my brother' means that the rational itself so declared that celestial good should be coupled with it. 'In the uprightness of my heart' means that such thinking was the product of innocence and simple good. 'And in the blamelessness of my hands have I done this' means the product of the affection for truth, and thus of all that enables one so to think.
