2616. Jehovah visited Sarah. That this signifies the presence of the Divine celestial in the Divine spiritual, is evident from the signification of “Jehovah,” as being the Divine celestial, that is, the Divine Good, or Esse (Being) itself, which, because it is of love and mercy, is Good itself; from the signification of “visiting,” as meaning to be present; and from the signification of “Sarah,” as being the Divine spiritual, that is, Divine truth (see n. 1468, 1901, 2063, 2065, 2507).
