Genesis21:1
1 AND the LORD visited Sarah , as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
(i. e.) Performed his gracious promise of giving her strength to Conceive and Bear a Child. Gods visitation of a person in Scripture use is the manifestation and execution of his purpose or word towards that person, and that either for evil, and so it is an inflicting of evils threatned, as the word visiting is used, Exod. 20. 5. Psal. 59. 5. or for good, and so it is used for the actual giving of mercies promised, as here and Gen. 50. 24. Exod. 4. 31. Ruth. 1. 6.
