2195. 'And Sarah heard it at the tent door' means rational truth at that time close to holiness. ]his is clear from the representation of 'Sarah' as rational truth, dealt with in 2173, 2174, and also from the meaning of 'a tent' as holiness, dealt with in 414, 1102, 1566, 2145, and so from the meaning of 'tent door' as the entrance to holiness, and thus close to holiness, dealt with above in 2145. The implications of these matters follow next.
