3959. And Leah conceived again, and bare a sixth son to Jacob. That this signifies the reception and acknowledgment of truth, is evident from the signification of “conceiving,” as being to receive; and of “bringing forth,” as being to acknowledge (see n. 3955); and from the signification of a “son,” as being truth (n. 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, 3373).
