9 Så lod Abimelek Isak kalde og sagde: "Hun er jo din Hustru; hvor kunde du da sige, at hun er din Søster" Isak svarede: "Jo, jeg tænkte: Jeg vil ikke udsætte mig for at miste Livet for hendes Skyld."

3407. And the man increased, and went on going and increasing until he became exceeding great. That this signifies successive increase, is evident from the signification of “to increase,” to “go on going,” and to “become exceeding great,” as being the successive increasings of good and truth in their order; namely, from truth to good, and from good to truth.
