3386、“他便说,她是我的妹子”表示理性真理。这从“妹子”的含义清楚可知,“妹子”是指理性真理(1495, 2508, 2524, 2556节)。如刚才所述,理性真理是指无论人们以哪种形式来理解或理性看待,似乎都是真理的东西。以撒声称利百加是他妹子,跟前面亚伯拉罕第一次在埃及(创世记12:11-13, 19)、后来在基拉耳(创世记20:2, 5, 12)声称撒拉是他妹子都涉及同样的奥秘,这一点从前面对这两点的解释可以看出来。由于同样的事发生了三次,并且这三次都被记录在圣言中,所以很明显,它包含一个极其重要的奥秘在里面;没有内义,没有人能明白这个奥秘。不过,从下文明显看出这奥秘是什么。

3386. And he said, She is my sister. That this signifies rational truth, is evident from the signification of "sister," as being rational truth (n. 1495, 2508, 2524, 2556). By rational truth is meant that which appears as true according to the apprehension, or before the rational, as just said. The arcanum that Isaac said that Rebekah was his sister; as Abraham had before said that Sarah was his sister, first in Egypt (Gen. 12:11-13, 19), and afterwards in Gerar (Gen. 20:2, 5, 12), involves what is much the same, as may be seen from the explication of the former passages; and as the same thing occurred three times, and is three times related in the Word, it is evident that there is in it an arcanum of the greatest moment, which can never be known to anyone except from the internal sense; but what the arcanum is, appears from what follows.

3386. 'And he said, She is my sister' means rational truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'a sister' as rational truth, dealt with in 1495, 2508, 2524, 2556. By rational truth is meant, as stated just above, that which is seen as the truth, in whatever form people grasp it mentally or see it rationally. Isaac's saying that Rebekah was his sister, as Abraham on a previous occasion in Egypt had said that Sarah was his sister, Gen 12:11-13, 19, and after that in Gerar, Gen 20:2, 5, 12, embodies a similar arcanum, as may be seen from the explanation given at those two points. And because a like event took place on three occasions, and also these are recorded in the Word, it is clear that it holds an arcanum of supreme importance within it which cannot possibly be known to anyone except from the internal sense. What this arcanum is however is evident from what follows.
Latin(1748-1756) 3386
3386. `Et dixit, Soror mea illa': quod significet verum rationale constat (c)a significatione `sororis' quod sit verum rationale, de qua n. 1495, 2508, 2524, 2556; per verum rationale intelligitur illud quod apparet sicut verum secundum captum seu coram rationali, ut mox supra dictum. Arcanum quod Jishakus dixerit Rebeccam esse Sororem suam, sicut Abrahamus prius in Aegypto, Gen. xii 11-13, 19, et postea in Gerare, Gen. xx 2, 5, 12, dixerat Saram esse sororem suam, simile involvit, ut videri potest ab explicatione ad illa loca; et quia simile tribus vicibus contigerat, et quoque illa memorantur in Verbo, constat quod arcanum maximi momenti sit quod inest, quod nusquam alicui notum esse potest quam ex sensu interno; quid autem sit, patet (c)ab illis quae sequuntur.
