3144. 'And the man came to the house' means influx into the good there. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming' here as flowing in, and from the meaning of 'a house' as good, dealt with in 2233, 2234, 2559.

2558. 'She became my wife' means that spiritual truth was joined to the celestial, with rationality serving as the means. This is clear from the representation of 'Sarah' when Abraham's 'wife' as spiritual truth joined to celestial good, dealt with in 2507, and from the representation of the same character when 'a sister' as rational truth, dealt with in 2508. Consequently the statement that from being 'a sister' she became 'a wife' means that spiritual truth was joined to the celestial, with rationality serving as the means. What is implied in all this becomes clear from what has been stated immediately above in 2557.
