Ο δε ειπε, Τι να σοι δωσω; Και ο Ιακωβ ειπε, δεν θελεις μοι δωσει ουδεν· εαν καμης εις εμε το πραγμα τουτο, παλιν θελω ποιμαινει το ποιμνιον σου και φυλαττει αυτο·

3953. Verses 17-18 And God hearkened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son. And Leah said, God has given me my reward, because I gave my servant-girl to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.
'God hearkened to Leah' means Divine love. 'And she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son' means reception and acknowledgement. 'And Leah said, God has given me my reward, because I gave my servant-girl to my husband' in the highest sense means Divine Good wedded to Truth, and Truth wedded to Good; in the internal sense heavenly conjugial love; and in the external sense mutual love. 'And she called his name Issachar' means the essential nature of it.
