It's common to say “I see” when we understand something. And indeed, “seeing” in the Bible represents grasping and understanding spiritual things. So it makes sense that the eyes, which allow us to see, represent the intellect, which allows us to understand spiritual things. This can also be used in the negative, of course; the Bible speaks of people having eyes and refusing to see, and the Lord when He was in the world advised plucking out an offending eye. These represent a refusal to acknowledge truth, or being misled by falsity.

In Genesis 12:18, telling signifies to indicate, to come to know, to inform, or to be informed. Reflection is an internal telling. (Arcana Coelestia 2862)

In Genesis 24:49, "tell me, and if not, tell me" signifies the free state of their deliberation. (Arcana Coelestia 3158)

In Revelation 1:1, 2, this signifies to make manifest. (Apocalypse Revealed 3)

In Genesis 24:66, when the servant tells Isaac his story, it signifies perception from the Divine Natural. (Arcana Coelestia 3209)

'To tell' signifies perceiving, because in the spiritual world, or in heaven, they do not need to tell what they think because they communicate every thought. This is why 'to tell,' in the spiritual sense, signifies perceiving.
