4428. 'The daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob' means in things that are external. This is clear from the representation of 'Leah' as the affection for external truth, dealt with in 3793, 3819, and from the representation of 'Jacob' in the highest sense as the Lord as regards the Divine Truth of the Natural, dealt with in 3305, 3509, 3525, 3546, 3576, 4234, 4273, 4337, and in the relative sense as the external Church, or what amounts to the same, the external aspect of the Church, dealt with in 3305, 4286. From all this it is evident that 'the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob' means the affection for truth in things that are external.
