4386. 'And he said, Why so? Let me find favour in my lord's eyes' means enlightenment received from their comparatively internal presence. This becomes clear from the implications of this stock-phrase to do with submission. The phrase is used to mean a rejection of their very close presence but an acceptance of their distant presence, which is the same as saying their comparatively internal presence, from which enlightenment is received.
