3188. 'And Rebekah rose up' means a raising up of the affection for truth and the resulting separation, namely a raising up of it towards the rational, and the separation of it from the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'rising up' as implying a raising up, dealt with in 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171, and because a raising up is meant a separation is meant also; and from the representation of 'Rebekah' as the affection for truth, dealt with in 3077, 3179. From this it is evident that 'Rebekah rose up' means a raising up of the affection for truth, and the separation of it from the natural, see 3182.
