3966. And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her. That this signifies foresight and providence, is evident from the signification of “remembering,” when as here predicated of God, as being foresight, for “remembering” is looking toward anyone; and that in the supreme sense “to see” is foresight may be seen above (n. 3863); and from the signification of “hearkening to” anyone, when predicated of God, as being providence (n. 3869).
