Génesis 28:9

Study

       

9 Y fuése Esaú á Ismael, y tomó para sí por mujer á Mahaleth, hija de Ismael, hijo de Abraham, hermana de Nabaioth, además de sus otras mujeres.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #3851

Studere hoc loco

3851. 'And he loved Rachel also, more than Leah' means greater love for internal truth than for external. This is clear from the representation of them both, 'Rachel' being internal truth and 'Leah' external truth. What internal truth is and what external truth, see 3820.
