4392. 'Therefore he called the name of the place Succoth' means the nature of that state. This is clear from the meaning of 'calling the name' as the essential nature, dealt with in 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2724, 3006, 3421, and from the meaning of 'place' as state, dealt with in 2625, 2837, 3356, 3387, 4321. It is the nature of this state that is embodied in the name 'Succoth', that is to say, the nature of the state of the holiness present within truth from good at that time. For 'Succoth' means tents, and 'tents' means the holiness of truth, as shown immediately above in 4391. 'Succoth' carries a similar meaning in David,

I will divide Shechem and portion out the valley of Succoth. Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine, and Ephraim is the strength of My head, Judah is My lawgiver. Psalms 60:6-7, and Psalms 108:7-8.

2837. 'Jehovah will see' means the Lord's Providence. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing', when it has reference to Jehovah or the Lord, as foreseeing and providing, dealt with in 2807 - for Jehovah is the Lord, see 1343, 1736, 2156, 2329. In the literal sense this phrase is a place-name, but in the internal sense it is the character of the state under description that is meant. For periods of time and measurements of space belong solely to the natural order, and therefore when the sense of the letter of the Word passes over from the natural order into heaven the natural idea of those things perishes completely and becomes the spiritual idea which corresponds to them.
