2070. Verse 17. And Abraham fell upon his faces, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall there be born to a son of a hundred years? and shall Sarah that is a daughter of ninety years bear? “Abraham fell upon his faces,” signifies adoration; “and laughed,” signifies the affection of truth; “and said in his heart,” signifies that He so thought; “shall there be born to a son of a hundred years?” signifies that the rational of the Lord’s Human Essence should then be united to His Divine Essence; “and shall Sarah that is a daughter of ninety years bear?” signifies that truth conjoined with good will do this.
