At kaniyang sinabi, Kakaunti pa bang bagay na iyong kinuha ang aking asawa? at ibig mo pa ring kunin ang mga mandragoras ng aking anak? At sinabi ni Raquel, Kaya't sisiping siya sa iyo ngayong gabi, dahil sa mga mandragoras ng iyong anak.
Genesis 30:15
Arcana Coelestia＃3864
3864. 'My affliction' - that is to say, 'Because Jehovah has seen it' - means a state of arriving at good. This is clear from the meaning of 'affliction' as temptation, dealt with in 1846. And because temptation is the means by which a person arrives at good 'my affliction' here means a state of moving on from truth which is external and of arriving at good which is internal.
