5
And they journeyed; and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
Genesis 35:5
Arcana Coelestia # 3395
3395. 'And Isaac said to him, Because I said, Perhaps I may die because of her' means that it would not be received. This is clear from what has been stated above in 3387, at the words 'for he was afraid to say, My wife, [thinking,] The men of the place may perhaps kill me on account of Rebekah'. More plainly than anywhere else 'saying' here means perceiving and thinking.
