30 For det var lite det du hadde før jeg kom, men nu har det øket til en stor mengde, og Herren har velsignet dig hvor jeg satte min fot. Men når skal jeg nu også få gjøre noget for mitt eget hus?

4182. God hath seen my misery and the weariness of my hands, and judged yesternight. That this signifies that all things were from Him by His own power, is evident from the signification of “misery,” and of the “weariness of the hands,” as being temptations; and as by temptations and victories the Lord united the Divine to the human, and made this also Divine, and this from His own power, these things are signified by the same words. (That by temptations and victories the Lord united the Divine to the Human, and made this Divine by His own power, may be seen above, n. 1661, 1737, 1813, 1921, 2776, 3318; and also that the “hollow of the hand,” or the “hand,” is power, n. 878, 3387; consequently that “my palms,” or “hands,” denote His own power.) “God hath seen, and hath judged,” signifies the Lord’s Divine, in that the Divine which was in Him, and which was His, did it.
