Genesis 29:3

Study

       

3 And when all the flocks were gathered there, they rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the mouth of the well in its place.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #3879

Studere hoc loco

  
/ 10837  
  

3879. 'She conceived again and bore a son' means spiritual conception and birth from what is external towards that which is more internal still. This is clear from what has been stated in 3860, 3868, where similar words occur.
