4359. And he said, The children whom God hath graciously bestowed upon thy servant. That this signifies truths from the Divine Providence, is evident from the signification of “children” or “sons,” as being truths (see just above, n. 4357); and from the signification of the words, “whom God hath graciously bestowed,” as being from the Divine Providence; for whatever God bestows is of His Providence.
