3274. And these are the years of the life of Ishmael. That this signifies a state representative by Ishmael of the Lord’s spiritual kingdom, is evident from the signification of “years” and of “lives,” as here being representative states (n. 3251); and from the representation of Ishmael, as being the Lord’s spiritual kingdom (n. 2699, 3263, 3268).
2700. Verse 19. And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the child drink. “God opened her eyes,” signifies intelligence; “and she saw a well of water,” signifies the Lord’s Word from which are truths; “and she filled the bottle with water,” signifies truths from the Word; “and she gave the child drink,” signifies instruction in spiritual things.
