3783. Cometh with the flock. That this signifies interior doctrinal things, is evident from the signification of a “flock,” as being the church, and also doctrinal things (see n. 3767, 3768, 3772); in the present case interior doctrinal things, because it is said of Rachel that she “came with the flock.”
