1465. Verse 11 And it happened, when he drew near to come into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look upon.

'And it happened, when he drew near to come into Egypt' means when He started to learn, 'Egypt', as has been stated, meaning knowledge comprised of cognitions. 'That he said to Sarai his wife' means that He thought in the following way about truths to which celestial things were allied, 'Sarai his wife' meaning truth allied to the celestial things that resided with the Lord. 'Behold now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look upon' means that truth from a celestial origin is delightful.
