3663. 'Rise up' means provided it raised up that good from these. This is clear from the meaning of 'rising up' - whenever this is mentioned - as a phrase that implies some kind of raising up, dealt with in 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171. Here it is a raising up from such things as are meant by 'the daughters of Canaan' to such things as are meant by 'the daughters of Laban', dealt with below.

3171. 'And they rose up in the morning' means a degree of raising up. This is clear from the meaning of 'rising up' as implying a raising up, dealt with in 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, and from the meaning of 'the morning' as the Lord, also His kingdom, as well as the state of peace which this brings, dealt with in 2405, 2780. The natural is said to be raised up when spiritual things are made over to it as its own. All raising up originates in spiritual and celestial things, for it is by means of these that a person is raised up to heaven and so nearer to the Lord.
