7066. That Jehovah had visited the sons of Israel. That this signifies that those of the spiritual church would be liberated and saved by the coming of the Lord, is evident from the signification of visiting,” as being liberation by the coming of the Lord into the world (see n. 6895), thus also salvation (that they who were of the spiritual church were adopted and saved by the coming of the Lord into the world, see n. 6854, 6914, 7035); and from the representation of the sons of Israel, as being the spiritual church (n. 6426, 6637). (That “Jehovah” in the Word denotes the Lord, see n. 1343, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5663, 6281, 6303, 6905)

3772. And watered the flock. That this signifies that the doctrine was thence derived, is evident from the signification of “watering,” or of “giving to drink,” as being to instruct (see n. 3069, 3768); and from the signification of a “flock,” as being those who are in the goods and truths of faith (n. 343, 3767). Thus “to water the flock” is to instruct out of the Word, consequently it is doctrine.
