3945. 'Give me now some of your son's dudaim' means affection and desire for the things belonging to conjugial love, to which it might be joined mutually and reciprocally. This is clear from the meaning of 'dudaim' as the essentials of conjugial love, dealt with above in 3942. For it is clear that affection and desire are meant, 3944; and conjugial love is a mutual and reciprocal joining together, see 2731.

3944. 'And Rachel said to Leah' means perception by the affection for interior truth, and the desire for it. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' as perceiving, dealt with in 1898, 1919, 2080, 2619, 2862, 3395, 3509, and from the representation of 'Rachel' as the affection for interior truth, dealt with in 3758, 3782, 3793, 3819. That the affection and the desire for that truth is meant is also evident from what comes next, for Rachel says, 'Give me now some of your son's dudaim'.
