Sastra Bait Kedua Kejadian 16:13: On Dreams

וַתִּקְרָ֤א שֵׁם־יְהוָה֙ הַדֹּבֵ֣ר אֵלֶ֔יהָ אַתָּ֖ה אֵ֣ל רֳאִ֑י כִּ֣י אָֽמְרָ֗ה הֲגַ֥ם הֲלֹ֛ם רָאִ֖יתִי אַחֲרֵ֥י רֹאִֽי׃

Lalu ia menyebut nama Yang Mahakekal yang berfirman kepadanya, “Engkaulah Allah yang melihat,” sebab katanya, “Benarkah di sini pun aku melihat, sesudah aku pernah melihat?”

On Dreams

[240] Do you not see how Hagar, who is the education of the schools, says to the angel “Thou art the God that didst look upon me”? (Gen. 16:13); for being Egyptian by descent she was not qualified to see the supreme Cause. But in the passage upon which we are occupied,  the mind is beginning, as the result of improvement, to form a mental image of the sovereign Ruler of all such Potencies.
