3937. 'Zilpah, Leah's servant-girl, bore a second son to Jacob' means acknowledgement of a second - a second general truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'bearing' as acknowledgement, dealt with above in 3911, 3915, 3919; from the meaning of 'a servant-girl' as an affirmative means that serves to join the external man to the internal, dealt with in 3913, 3917; from the meaning of 'son' as truth, in this case a general truth, dealt with above in 3926; and from the representation of 'Jacob', and also 'Leah' as well as 'Zilpah', dealt with above. These considerations show what the internal sense of these words is, namely the acknowledgement of the second general truth which serves as the means to join the external man to the internal.
