1494. Verse 19 Why did you say, She is my sister? I might have taken her to be my wife (mulier). And now, behold your wife, take her and go.

'Why did you say, She is my sister?' means that He knew no other at that time than that He possessed intellectual truth. 'I might have taken her to be my wife (mulier)' means that this being so He could have done violence to the truth that was to be joined to what is celestial. 'And now, behold your wife, take her and go' means that truth was to be joined to what is celestial.
