3983. And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee. That this signifies that it had known its mind [animus], and its power, may be seen from the series of things in the internal sense. That to know anyone’s quality is to know his mind, is manifest. And that knowing anyone’s quality in his service, or “how I have served,” is to know his power, may be seen from the signification here of “serving,” as being one’s own power (see n. 3975, 3977); for by Jacob is represented the Lord’s Divine natural as to the good of truth, which has power. From this it follows that “how thy substance 1 has been with me” signifies that this also was from the Divine.
