3920. Verse 6 And Rachel said, God has judged me, and also has heard my voice, and has given me a son. And therefore she called his name Dan.

'Rachel said, God has judged me, and also has heard my voice' in the highest sense means righteousness and mercy, in the internal sense the holiness of faith, in the external sense the good of life. 'And has given me a son' means that this truth was acknowledged. 'Therefore she called his name Dan' means the essential nature of it.
