261 - Daily and Yearly Preparation for Heaven
By Jonathan S. Rose
Arcana Coelestia #2573
2573. Verse 16 And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given a thousand pieces of silver to your brother; behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes for all who are with you, and with all; and she was vindicated.
'And to Sarah he said' means perception from spiritual truth. 'Behold, I have given a thousand pieces of silver to your brother' means an infinite abundance of rational truth joined to celestial good. 'Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes for all who are with you' means that rational truths are like a covering or garment for spiritual truths. 'And with all' means that so also are the truths descending from these. 'And she was vindicated' means that thus there was no blame attached and no harm done.
