2651. 'And Sarah saw' means the Lord's insight from the Divine spiritual. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing' as understanding, dealt with in 897, 2150, 2325, which is the same as seeing with the mind's eye; and from the representation of 'Sarah' as the Divine spiritual or Divine Truth, dealt with in 2622. 'Sarah sew' means that the Divine spiritual had insight, which is the same as saying that the Lord had such insight from the Divine spiritual.
