2700. Verse 19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the flask with water, and gave the boy a drink.

'God opened her eyes' means intelligence. 'And she saw a well of water' means the Lord's Word from which truths are drawn. 'And filled the flask with water' means truths from that source. 'And gave the boy a drink' means teaching given in spiritual things.
