16 ồi vua phán cùng Sa-ra rằng: Ðây, ta ban cho anh ngươi một ngàn miếng bạc; số tiền đó dùng cho ngươi như một bức màn che trước mắt về mọi việc đã xảy ra cùng ngươi; và mọi người đều sẽ cho ngươi là công bình.

2507. Of Sarah his wife. That this signifies spiritual truth conjoined with the celestial, is evident from the signification of “Sarah” as a wife, as being intellectual truth conjoined with the Divine good, or what is the same, spiritual truth conjoined with the celestial (see n. 1468, 1901, 2063, 2065, 2172, 2173, 2198). What the spiritual is, and what the celestial, has often been stated before (see n. 1155, 1577, 1824, 2048, 2088). That is called Celestial, which is of good, that is, which is of love to the Lord and of charity toward the neighbor; and that Spiritual, which is of truth, that is, which is of faith derived from those loves.
