31
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ λαβαν τί σοι δώσω εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ιακωβ οὐ δώσεις μοι οὐθέν ἐὰν ποιήσῃς μοι τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο πάλιν ποιμανῶ τὰ πρόβατά σου καὶ φυλάξω
Genesis 30:31
Arcana Coelestia # 3947
3947. 'And will you take also my son's dudaim?' means that in that case the conjugial element linking natural good to external truth would be taken away. This is clear from the meaning of 'taking' here as taking away; from the meaning of 'dudaim' as the conjugial element, dealt with in 3942; and from the meaning of 'son' as truth, dealt with in 489, 491, 533, 1147, in this case external truth since it is Leah who is speaking and who, as shown above, means external truth.
