Genesis 30:6

Study

       

6 Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son." Therefore called she his name Dan.

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.
