23 και δεν θελουσι μιαινεσθαι πλεον εν τοις ειδωλοις αυτων ουδε εν τοις βδελυγμασιν αυτων ουδε εν πασαις ταις παραβασεσιν αυτων· αλλα θελω σωσει αυτους εκ πασων των κατοικησεων αυτων, εν αις ημαρτησαν, και θελω καθαρισει αυτους· και θελουσιν εισθαι λαος μου και εγω θελω εισθαι Θεος αυτων.

6805. 'And God saw the children of Israel' means that He endowed the Church with faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing' as having faith, dealt with in 897, 2325, 2807, 3863, 3869, 4403-4421, 5400, so that 'God saw' is endowing with faith (for faith comes from God); and from the meaning of 'the children of Israel' as the Church, dealt with in 6637.
