771. Since every expression in the Word comes from the Lord and so has the Divine within it, it is clear that not one expression, not even one iota, is there which does not mean and embody something. The same holds true here with the expressions 'the three wives', and also 'the wives of his Sons', as well as 'with them'. But what these particular phrases embody would take too long to explain. It is enough if one supplies just a general idea of their most general meanings.
