4895. 'And said, I did not find her' means that by falsity this cannot be discovered. This is clear from the meaning of 'I did not find' as not discovering; and because these words are spoken by the Adullamite who means falsity, as above in 4894, it follows that 'he said, I did not find her' means that falsity was unable to discover it, or that by falsity this cannot be discovered.

4894. 'And he returned to Judah' means reflection. This becomes clear from the fact that 'the Adullamite, Judah's companion' means falsity, 4817, 4854, 4886, and when falsity is said 'to return' and, as Judah's companion does here, to report what had happened, nothing else is meant than a recalling to mind and reflection on what the situation is.
