1952. Verses 13, 14 And she called the name of Jehovah who spoke to her, You are a God who sees me; for she said, Have I not also here seen after Him who sees me? Therefore she called the spring, The spring of the Living One who sees me; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bared.

'And she called the name of Jehovah who spoke to her' means the state of the Lord's Interior Man when it thought about these things. 'You are a God who sees me' means influx. 'For she said, Have I not also here seen after Him who sees me?' means influx into the life of the exterior man without the rational serving as a go-between. 'Therefore she called the spring' means the resulting state of truth. 'The spring of the Living One who sees me' means the truth that was thus clearly visible. 'Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bared' means the nature of [this truth].
