3842. And Laban said, It is not so done in our place. That this signifies that the state is not such, is evident from the signification of “place,” as being state (see n. 1273-1275, 1377, 2025, 2837, 3356, 3387). From this it is evident that the expression “it is not so done in our place,” signifies that the state is not such.
