14 And Jehovah saith unto Abraham, `Why [is] this? Sarah hath laughed, saying, Is it true really -- I bear -- and I am aged? Is any thing too wonderful for Jehovah? at the appointed time I return unto thee, about the time of life, and Sarah hath a son.'

2152. 'From the tent door' means from the holiness that was the Lord's at that time. This is clear from the meaning of 'tent' as holiness, and from the meaning of 'door' as the entrance to holiness, dealt with above in 2145.
