Arcana Coelestia#4443
4443. 'And Jacob's sons came from the field' means that the counsel they took was based in their semblance of religion. This is clear from the meaning of 'the sons of Jacob' as the nation descended from them, among whom a representative of the Church was established, and from the meaning of 'the field' as their semblance of religion, dealt with above in 4440. The fact that 'coming' from there means consultation based on this follows from the sequence of thought, and also from the fact that it is their semblance of religion to which the verb 'coming' has reference.
Genesis 34:14-16
14
and said to them, "We can't do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.
15
Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;
16
then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
