13. Is he that readeth. That this signifies that they perceive, is evident from the signification of reading the Word, as denoting to understand from enlightenment, thus to perceive; for to read signifies the same as to see, because he who reads, sees, and to see signifies to perceive from enlightenment, as was shown just above, n. 11.
