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.
