8688. 'And the father-in-law of Moses saw all that he was doing for the people' means the complete knowledge Divine Good possessed. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing all that he is doing', when said of Divine Good, which Jethro 'the father-in-law of Moses' represents, as complete knowledge. 'Seeing' in the internal sense is understanding and perceiving, 2150, 2325, 2807, 3764, 4403-4421, 5400. In the highest sense however, where the Lord is the subject, it is foresight and providence, 2837, 2839, 3686, 3854, 3863, so that 'seeing all that he is doing' is complete knowledge.
