23
So schwöre mir nun bei Gott, daß du mir und meinen Kindern und meinen Enkeln keine Untreue erzeigen wollest, sondern die Barmherzigkeit, die ich an dir getan habe, an mir auch tust und an dem Lande, darin du ein Fremdling bist.
1 Mose 21:23
Arcana Coelestia #2688
2688. 'And she sat some distance away' means a state of thought. This is clear from what has been stated above in 2684, where the same words occur. The reason they occur a second time in this verse is that the state of thought was intensified and made worse to the utmost extremity of grief, as is evident from what went immediately before, 'Let me not see the death of the boy', and from what comes immediately after, 'She lifted up her voice and wept'.
