'Wilderness' signifies something with little life in it, as described in the internal sense in Luke 1:80 'Wilderness' signifies somewhere there is no good because there is no truth. 'Wilderness,' as in Jeremiah 23:10, signifies the Word when it is adulterated.

This is clear from the meaning of 'making Jehovah's way known' as instruction regarding the Divine, for 'making known' means instruction, and 'the way of Jehovah' Divine Truth acting as guide; and from the meaning of 'knowing Jehovah' as being aware of what the Divine is like as He resides with them. 'Way' means truth, see 627, 2333, 10422, at this point Divine Truth acting as guide.

10565a. 'Because I have found grace in Your eyes' means because he has been accepted to be in authority over the people and to lead them, as above in 10563, 10564.
