5012. 'And said to them - she said' means an urgent demand. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' here as an urgent demand, for in the internal sense 'saying' means perception, 2862, 3395, 3509, and also communication, 3060, 4131. Here therefore, because the expression 'she cried' is used, followed by 'said - she said', a communication delivered with intense feeling, that is, an urgent demand to listen, is meant.

4131. 'Laban said to Jacob' means a state of communication, that is to say, of the good which is now represented by 'Laban' with the good now represented by 'Jacob'. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' at this point as communication - as in 3060. Since a kind of joining together has been effected, described just above in 4124, 4127, 4129, and the statement 'Laban said to Jacob' follows immediately after communication is therefore meant by 'saying'.
