1924. Verse 7 And the angel of Jehovah found her near a spring of water in the desert, near the spring on the road to Shur.

'The angel of Jehovah found her' means thought in the interior man, 'the angel of Jehovah' here being the interior thought which came from the Lord's Internal. 'Near a spring of water in the desert' means natural truth that has not yet acquired any life. 'Near the spring on the road to Shur' means that this truth was an assemblage of things which come from facts.
