12 Aber Gott sprach zu Abraham: Laß es nicht übel sein in deinen Augen wegen des Knaben und wegen deiner Magd; was immer Sara zu dir sagt, höre auf ihre Stimme; denn in Isaak soll dir ein Same genannt werden.

2670. 'Because he is your seed' means that from the Lord's Divine Human salvation is available to them also. This becomes clear from what has been stated above in 2666. For 'seed' means faith, but faith that springs from charity, see 255, 880, 1025, 1447, 1610, 1940.
