Vers 13. Und der Herr hat die Seele mit innerer Intelligenz begabt, damit er sie befähige, aus dem Guten und Wahren, das in den Verstand gesät wurde, Nutzen zu ziehen; und er hat sie dazu gebracht, sich am Studium der wissenschaftlichen Wahrheiten der Religion zu erfreuen, und hat sie durch die Wahrheiten des Glaubens mit Gutem erfüllt;

9304. 'To keep you safe on the way' means His providence and protection from falsities arising from evil. This is clear from the meaning of 'keeping safe', when it refers to the Lord, as providence, for providence consists in making provision for something and looking towards it, thus in leading towards good, and in protecting from evil (for the Lord provides what is good but foresees what is evil, 6489, and since He foresees what is evil He also protects a person from it, otherwise he could not be provided with good); and from the meaning of 'the way' as truth, dealt with in 627, 2333, 3477, in this instance falsity as well since the words 'keep safe' are used. He who leads in the way of truth also protects from falsity, because falsity molests and attacks truth. The reason why falsity arising from evil is meant is that this falsity engages in molestation and mounts attacks, but not falsity which does not arise from evil, such as exists with those governed by good. Regarding this falsity, as well as falsity arising from evil, see 2243, 2408, 2863, 4736, 4822, 6359, 7272, 7437, 7574, 7577, 8051, 8137, 8149, 8298, 8311, 8318 (end), 9258, 9298.
