13 kindlasti tuleb ümber lõigata niihästi su peres sündinu kui su raha eest ostetu. Minu leping peab teie ihu küljes olema igavese lepinguna!

2070. Verse 17 And Abraham fell on his face 1 and laughed, and said in his heart, Will one be born to a son of a hundred years? And will Sarah, a daughter of ninety years, give birth?

'Abraham fell on his face' 1 means adoration. 'And laughed' means the affection for truth. 'And said in his heart' means that He so thought. 'Will one be born to a son of a hundred years?' means that in that case the Rational belonging to the Lord's Human Essence would be united to the Divine Essence. 'And will Sarah, a daughter of ninety years, give birth?' means that truth joined to good will achieve this.
