3533. Only hearken to my voice, and go, take for me. That this signifies from the effect, is evident from the signification of “hearkening to a voice,” as being to obey; and from the signification of “going and taking for me,” as being to do; and because this was said to the natural as to truth (represented by Jacob) by the rational as to truth, here the Divine rational (represented by Rebekah), therefore nothing else is signified than “from the effect;” for the natural sees from the effect, but the rational sees from the cause.
