6 Kaj Dio diris al li en la songxo: Mi ankaux scias, ke en senkulpeco de via koro vi tion faris, kaj tial Mi detenis vin, ke vi ne peku kontraux Mi, tial Mi ne lasis, ke vi kuntusxigxu kun sxi.

2505. Verse 2. And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister; and Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. “Abraham said,” signifies the Lord’s thought; “of Sarah his wife,” signifies spiritual truth conjoined with the celestial; “she is my sister,” signifies rational truth; “and Abimelech king of Gerar sent,” signifies the doctrine of faith (“Abimelech” signifies the doctrine of faith that looks to rational things); “and took Sarah,” signifies the affection of consulting the rational.
