6721. 'And hid him three months' means a complete period of time in which it was not seen. This is clear from the meaning of 'being hidden' as not being seen; and from the meaning of 'three months' as a complete period of time and a complete state. For the meaning of 'three' as what is complete, or an entire period from start to finish, see 2788, 4495. 'A month', like 'a day' or 'a year', means a period of time and a state, 2788; consequently a new state is meant by 'three months', 4901.
Isaiah 32:15-16
15
Until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered a forest.
16
Then justice will dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness will remain in the fruitful field.
