Study

       

30 Trước khi tôi đến, súc vật của cậu thật ít, nhưng từ khi tôi đến ở, thì thêm nhiều quá bội. Ðức Giê-hô-va đã ban phước cho cậu từ khi tôi bước chơn vào nhà nầy; bây giờ biết chừng nào tôi sẽ được lo việc nhà tôi?

Arcana Coelestia #4011

Studere hoc loco

4011. 'And Jacob was feeding the rest of Laban's flocks' means that from the ones that were left there were taken the goods and truths which were to be joined to the good of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'flocks' as goods and truths, dealt with in 343, 2566, 3767, 3768, 3772, 3783. The fact that 'feeding the rest of the flocks' means that from the ones that were left there were taken the goods and truths which were to be joined to the truth of good is evident from what follows below, for this is what is dealt with there.
