2581. 'And God healed Abimelech' means wholeness of doctrine as regards good. This is clear from the meaning of 'healing' as making whole, and from the representation of 'Abimelech' as the doctrine of faith which has regard to rational things, 2510. That it is a wholeness as regards good is evident from the fact that his wife as well is said to have been healed, by which is meant wholeness of doctrine as regards truth. For when in the Word the husband is called 'husband', and also when he is referred to by name, he means good and his 'wife' truth; but when the husband is called 'men' he means truth and his 'wife' good.
