3723. 'In the morning Jacob rose up early' means a state of enlightenment. This is clear from the meaning of 'in the morning rising up early' as a state of enlightenment, dealt with in 3458, for where 'rising up' is mentioned in the Word it implies some kind of a raising up, 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171. And 'morning' means the arrival of heavenly light, in this case a raising up from obscurity into that light, and so means a state of enlightenment.
