2188. Verse 9 And they said to him, Where is Sarah your wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.

'They said to him, Where is Sarah your wife?' means rational truth, which did not at that time show itself because it existed within rational good. 'And he said, Behold, in the tent' means that it existed within holiness.
