Genesis 30:26

Study

       

26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you."

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #3989

Studere hoc loco

  
/ 10837  
  

3989. 'He said, What shall I give you?' means knowledge. This becomes clear from its being an anxious desire and a request to know what he wanted for wages and how much.

'And Jacob said' means a reply. This is clear without explanation.
