3966. 'God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her' means Foresight and Providence. This is clear from the meaning of 'remembering' as Foresight, when, as is the case here, God is said to do so, for 'remembering' implies seeing to someone's needs, while 'seeing' in the highest sense means Foresight, see 3863; and from the meaning of 'hearkening to someone' as Providence, when God is said to do so, dealt with in 3869.
