2191. Verse 10 And he said, I will certainly return to you about this time next year, ¹ and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son. And Sarah heard it at the tent door, and this was behind him.

'And he said' means perception. 'I will certainly return to you about this time next year' means the joining together of the Divine with the Lord's Human. 'And behold, Sarah your wife will have a son' means the Rational that was to be Divine. 'And Sarah heard it at the tent door' means rational truth at that time close to holiness. 'And this was behind him' means close to the good which existed with the rational at that time, and separated from it insofar as anything of the human was in it.
