6250. 'And said, Whose are these?' means and regarding their origin, that is to say, a perception regarding it. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' as perception, dealt with above in 6220; and from the meaning of whose are these?' as a question regarding their origin. For in the internal sense putting questions denotes knowledge gained by perception, see 2693, 6132.
