2585. Verse 18 For Jehovah had completely closed every womb of Abimelech's house because of the matter of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

'For Jehovah had completely closed every womb of Abimelech's house' means sterility of doctrine. 'Because of the matter of Sarah' means through the rational if it had joined itself. 'Abraham's wife' means, in order that spiritual truth might be joined to celestial good.
