3818. And Laban had two daughters. That this signifies the affections of truth from the good which is from a common stock, is evident from the representation of Laban, as being the good of a common stock, but collaterally descended (see n. 3612, 3665, 3778); and from the signification of “daughters,” as being affections (n. 2362), in the present case the affections of truth from the good which is “Laban” (n. 3793).
