2433. Verse 21 And he said to him, Behold, I have accepted you 1 as regards this matter also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.

'He said to him, Behold, I have accepted you as regards this matter also' means assent, provided that the interior aspects of that truth derive anything from good. 'That I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken' means that this being so he would not perish.

Footnotes:

1. literally, your face
