5668. 'And gave them water' means a general influx of truth from the internal. This is clear from the meaning of 'water' as truth, 2702, 3058, 3414, 4976, in this case truth in general. This is why 'giving water' means a general influx of truth; and the reason it comes from the internal is that this took place in Joseph's house, 5667. A general influx of truth is enlightenment that makes it possible for truth to be discerned and understood. This enlightenment is provided by the light of heaven which flows from the Lord, a light which is nothing else than Divine Truth, 2776, 3138, 3167, 3195, 3222, 3339, 3485, 3636, 3643, 3993, 4302, 4413, 4415, 5400.

3414. 'And Abimelech said to Isaac' means the Lord's perception regarding that doctrine. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' as perceiving, often dealt with already; from the representation of 'Abimelech', here the king of the Philistines, as that doctrine, dealt with in 3365, 3391; and from the representation of 'Isaac' as the Lord's Divine Rational.
