2662. Verse 12 And God said to Abraham, Do not be distressed 1 about the lad and about your servant-girl. Everything which Sarah says to you, hearken to her voice, for in Isaac will your seed be called.

'God said to Abraham' means the Lord's perception from the Divine. 'Do not be distressed about the lad and about your servant-girl' means a change of state towards that rational. 'Everything which Sarah says to you, hearken to her voice' means that He was to act in accordance with spiritual truth. 'For in Isaac will your seed be called' means that from the Lord's Divine Human all salvation is available to those in whom good exists.

Footnotes:

1. literally, Let it not be evil in your eyes
