28 ἐὰν δὲ ἐλαττονωθῶσιν οἱ πεντήκοντα δίκαιοι πέντε ἀπολεῖς ἕνεκεν τῶν πέντε πᾶσαν τὴν πόλιν καὶ εἶπεν οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσω ἐὰν εὕρω ἐκεῖ τεσσαράκοντα πέντε

2205. Verse 13. And Jehovah said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I indeed truly bear, and I am become old? “Jehovah said unto Abraham,” signifies the Lord’s perception from the Divine; “Wherefore did Sarah laugh?” signifies the thought of rational truth from the affection of it; “saying, Shall I indeed truly bear?” signifies that it wondered that the rational should become Divine; “and I am become old,” signifies after it should be no longer of such a nature.
