4359. 'And he said, The sons whom God has graciously bestowed on your servant' means truths conferred by Divine Providence. This is clear from the meaning of 'the sons' as truths, dealt with just above in 4357, and from the meaning of 'whom God has graciously bestowed' as conferred by Divine Providence, for whatever God bestows is conferred by His Providence.
