Arcana Coelestia # 6749
6749. 'And the child grew' means that an increase was brought about by good. This is clear from the meaning of 'growing' as an increase. The reason why the increase is brought about by good is that the child grew through being nursed, and 'being nursed by a Hebrew woman' means the instilling of the Church's good, 6745.
2 Samuel 22:4-7
4
I will call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from my enemies.
5
For the waves of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
6
The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death caught me.
7
In my distress I called on Yahweh. Yes, I called to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry [came] into his ears.
