6223. 'And [someone] told Jacob' means a discernment by the truth of the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'telling' as discernment, dealt with in 3608, 5601; and from the representation of 'Jacob' as the truth of the natural, dealt with in 3305, 3509, 3525, 3546, 3599, 3775, 4009, 4234, 4520, 4538, 6001.
