1933. 'And she said, From the face of my mistress Sarai I am fleeing' means the reply and anger. This is clear from what has been stated. Regarding anger, see verse 4 above, where the same words occur. Since 'face' means the interiors, as shown already in 358, anger and many other things are accordingly meant.
