This is clear from the general sense which results from the internal sense of these words, for the servant's wish to be sent back to his master was the expression of an affection - the affection which desired that the affection for truth, which is 'Rebekah', should be joined [to the rational] now that the betrothal, that is, the introduction was already completed. The affection desiring the joining together is what is meant here.

'Silence' has various meanings. In general, it signifies everything which causes it, including astonishment, which has a special cause in Revelation 8:1.
