2655. Verse 10 And she said to Abraham, Cast out this servant-girl, and her son; for the son of this servant-girl shall not inherit together with my son, with Isaac.

'She said to Abraham' means perception from the Divine. 'Cast out this servant-girl, and her son' means that what belonged to the merely human rational was to be banished. 'For the son of this servant-girl shall not inherit together with my son, with Isaac' means that the merely human rational could not possess the same life as the Divine Rational itself, neither as to truth nor as to good.
