가로되 `사래의 여종 하갈아 네가 어디서 왔으며 어디로 가느냐 ?' 그가 가로되 `나는 나의 여주인 사래를 피하여 도망하나이다'
Arcana Coelestia #1960
1960. Hagar bare Abram a son. That this signifies the rational man born from this conception and conjunction, is evident from the representation and signification of “Hagar,” of “Abram,” and of “a son.” That “Hagar” signifies the life of the affection of memory-knowledges in the exterior man, has been said above (n. 1895, 1896); also that “Abram” signifies the Lord’s internal man (n. 1893, 1950); and that “a son” signifies truth, and thus the truth that was of this rational (n. 264, 489, 491, 533, 1147). Hence that “Hagar bare a son to Abram,” signifies the rational man that was born from this conception and conjunction. Into this sense is the sense of the letter changed when it reaches the angels, or is in the presence of the angels.
