1490. Verse 18. And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? Why didst thou not tell me that she is thy wife? “And Pharaoh called Abram,” signifies that the Lord bethought Himself; “and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me?” signifies that it grieved Him; “Why didst thou not tell me that she is thy wife?” signifies seeing that He knew that He ought not to have any other truth than that which would be conjoined with what is celestial.
