32
I will pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.
Genesis 30:32
Arcana Coelestia＃3981
3981. 'I have learned from experience, and Jehovah has blessed me for your sake' means originating in the Divine, for the sake of the good of the natural which it is to serve. This is clear from the meaning of 'learning from experience that Jehovah has blessed' as knowing for certain of its origin in the Divine. That this was for the sake of the good of the natural which it is to serve is meant by 'for your sake'. For 'Jacob' means the good of natural truth, 3659, 3669, 3677, 3775, 3829, and 'Laban' the parallel good which serves it, as shown above in various places; and see also below in 3982, 3986.
