4974. 'And his lord saw that Jehovah was with him' means a perception within natural good that the Divine existed within it. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing' as understanding and discerning, dealt with in 2150, 3764, 4339, 4567, 4723, and from the meaning of 'lord' as good, dealt with immediately above in 4973, in this case natural good because it is 'the Egyptian' who is the lord. The existence inwardly of the Divine is meant by 'Jehovah was with him', as above in 4971.

2150. 'And he saw' means when He recognized this. This is clear from the meaning in the internal sense of 'seeing' as understanding and recognizing, and also of becoming enlightened, dealt with in 1584. Nothing is more common in the Word than for 'seeing' to have such meanings Here the meaning is that He recognized the presence of perception from the Divine, as just stated.
