2947. 'Before the eyes of the sons of my people I give it to you' means according to the understanding of everyone. This is clear from the meaning of 'the eyes' as the understanding, dealt with in 2701, and from the meaning of 'the sons of the people' as everyone. 'The sons of the people' are those who are first introduced to truths, for 'people' are those who possess truths, 1259, 1260; and this is why not 'before the eyes of my people' but 'before the eyes of the sons of my people' occurs here.
