Genesis 30:32

Study

       

32 I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my hire.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #3989

Studere hoc loco

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.
