16 A sveštenik madijanski imaše sedam kćeri, i one dođoše i stadoše zahvatati vodu i nalivati u pojila da napoje stado oca svog.

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.
