38
καὶ παρέθηκεν τὰς ῥάβδους ἃς ἐλέπισεν ἐν ταῖς ληνοῖς τῶν ποτιστηρίων τοῦ ὕδατος ἵνα ὡς ἂν ἔλθωσιν τὰ πρόβατα πιεῖν ἐνώπιον τῶν ῥάβδων ἐλθόντων αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ πιεῖν
Genesis 30:38
Arcana Coelestia #3925
3925. 'Bilhah, Rachel's servant-girl, conceived again and bore' means reception and acknowledgement. This is clear from the meaning of 'conceiving' as reception, and from the meaning of 'bearing' as acknowledgement, dealt with above in 3919; and also from the meaning of 'a servant-girl' as a subservient means, also dealt with above, in 3913, 3917. For here the second subservient general means by which the internal man is joined to the external is the subject.
