내가 네 곁으로 지나며 보니 네 때가 사랑스러운 때라 내 옷으로 너를 덮어 벌거벗은 것을 가리우고 네게 맹세하고 언약하여 너로 내게 속하게 하였었느니라 나 주 여호와의 말이니라
에스겔 16:8
Arcana Coelestia #6805
6805. 'And God saw the children of Israel' means that He endowed the Church with faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing' as having faith, dealt with in 897, 2325, 2807, 3863, 3869, 4403-4421, 5400, so that 'God saw' is endowing with faith (for faith comes from God); and from the meaning of 'the children of Israel' as the Church, dealt with in 6637.
