3410. 'The Philistines envied him' means that people governed by no more than a knowledge of cognitions did not have any grasp of such good and truth. This is clear from the meaning here of 'envying' as not having a grasp of, as is evident from what comes next, and from the meaning of 'the Philistines' as knowledge of cognitions. Thus 'the Philistines' are people who possess a knowledge of cognitions, dealt with in 1197, 1198.
