Genesis 30:36

Study

       

36 He set three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.

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.
