Και συνελαβον αι δυο θυγατερες του Λωτ εκ του πατρος αυτων.
2587. Because of the word of Sarah. That this signifies by reason of the rational if it had conjoined itself, is evident from the representation of “Sarah” as a sister, as being rational truth (see n. 2508). The “word of Sarah” signifies the whole transaction, namely, that she was called a sister, and that Abimelech took her, but that he did not come near her. What these things signify further will be told in what follows.
