4895. 'And said, I did not find her' means that by falsity this cannot be discovered. This is clear from the meaning of 'I did not find' as not discovering; and because these words are spoken by the Adullamite who means falsity, as above in 4894, it follows that 'he said, I did not find her' means that falsity was unable to discover it, or that by falsity this cannot be discovered.

4886. 'By the hand of his companion the Adullamite' means by means of falsity. This is clear from the representation of 'Hirah the Adullamite' - who was Judah's companion - as falsity, dealt with in 4817, 4854.
