5668. 'And gave them water' means a general influx of truth from the internal. This is clear from the meaning of 'water' as truth, 2702, 3058, 3414, 4976, in this case truth in general. This is why 'giving water' means a general influx of truth; and the reason it comes from the internal is that this took place in Joseph's house, 5667. A general influx of truth is enlightenment that makes it possible for truth to be discerned and understood. This enlightenment is provided by the light of heaven which flows from the Lord, a light which is nothing else than Divine Truth, 2776, 3138, 3167, 3195, 3222, 3339, 3485, 3636, 3643, 3993, 4302, 4413, 4415, 5400.

3415. 'Go away from being with us, for you are much mightier than we are' means that they would not be able to tolerate those things because of their Divine content. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'going away from being with us' as finding its presence intolerable, and from the meaning of 'being much mightier' as on account of the riches, here the Divine riches, which interior truths hold within them. Those who are called 'the Philistines' cannot tolerate the presence of good, nor thus the presence of the Divine; see just above in 3413.
