3873. Verse 34. And she conceived again, and bare a son, and said, Now this time will my man cleave to me, because I have borne him three sons; therefore she called his name Levi. “And she conceived again, and bare a son,” signifies as before, spiritual conception and birth from what is external to what is still more internal; “and said, Now this time will my man cleave to me,” signifies in the supreme sense love and mercy, in the internal sense charity, in the external sense conjunction, in the present case spiritual love; “because I have borne him three sons,” signifies what is successive; “therefore she called his name Levi,” signifies its quality.
