In Genesis 12:18, telling signifies to indicate, to come to know, to inform, or to be informed. Reflection is an internal telling. (Arcana Coelestia 2862)

In Genesis 24:49, "tell me, and if not, tell me" signifies the free state of their deliberation. (Arcana Coelestia 3158)

In Revelation 1:1, 2, this signifies to make manifest. (Apocalypse Revealed 3)

In Genesis 24:66, when the servant tells Isaac his story, it signifies perception from the Divine Natural. (Arcana Coelestia 3209)

'To tell' signifies perceiving, because in the spiritual world, or in heaven, they do not need to tell what they think because they communicate every thought. This is why 'to tell,' in the spiritual sense, signifies perceiving.

1447. “说, 我要把这地赐给你的种” 表属天之物被恩赐给那些信祂的人. 这从 “种” 和 “地” 的含义清楚可知. “种” 表对主的信, 如前所示 (255, 256节); “(陆) 地” 表属天之物, 这也在本章第1节说明了 (还有620, 636, 662, 1066节). 从字义上看, “亚伯兰” 的种是指雅各所出的后代, “地” 是指应许赐给他们的迦南地本身, 以便他们可以代表主国度和教会的属天, 属灵之物, 并且代表性教会可以设立在他们当中, 因为主要在那里降生. 但从内义上看, “种” 无非是指对主的信, “地” 无非是指属天之物, 在本节经文中, 属天之物要被赐予那些信祂的人. 至于信祂意味着什么, 这在前面已多次说明.
