2195. And Sarah heard at the door of the tent. That this signifies that rational truth was then near what is holy, is evident from the representation of Sarah, as being rational truth (see n. 2173, 2194); and from the signification of a “tent,” as being what is holy (see n. 414, 1102, 1566, 2145); and thus from the signification of the “door of the tent,” as being the entrance to what is holy, thus near what is holy (see above, n. 2145). How the case is with these things now follows.
