1908. Verse 4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And she saw that she had conceived, and her mistress was despised in her eyes, 'He went in to Hagar' means the joining of the internal man to the life of the affection for knowledge. 'And she conceived' means the initial life of the rational. 'And she saw that she had conceived, and her mistress was despised in her eyes' means that this rational at its conception despised truth itself that was allied to good.
