4309. In the internal historical sense 'He blessed him there' means that so it was done. This is clear from the meaning of 'blessing' in this case as the fact that they played the part of a representative of the Church, dealt with in 4290. Therefore the meaning here of 'He blessed him there' means that so it was done.

12 Moses said to Yahweh, "Behold, you tell me, 'Bring up this people:' and you haven't let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, 'I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.'

13 Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight: and consider that this nation is your people."

14 He said, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."
