13 Ագարն իր հետ խօսող Տիրոջը դիմելով՝ ասաց. «Դու այն Աստուածն ես, որ ինձ զօրավիգ եղաւ. - քանզի ասաց, - ես իմ առաջ տեսայ նրան, ով երեւացել է ինձ»:

1918. Verse 6. And Abram said unto Sarai, Behold thy handmaid is in thy hand, do to her that which is good in thine eyes; and Sarai humbled her, and she fled from her face. “Abram said unto Sarai,” signifies perception; “Behold thy handmaid is in thy hand,” signifies that the rational that was conceived was in the power of truth adjoined to good; “do to her that which is good in thine eyes,” signifies absolute control; “and Sarai humbled her,” signifies subjugation; “and she fled from her face,” signifies the indignation of this rational that was first conceived.
