Arcana Coelestia #3042
3042. 'If the woman is not willing to go after you' means here, as previously, if the affection for truth were not separated. This is clear from the meaning of 'the woman' as the affection for truth, and from the meaning of 'going after you' or following to that land, as being separated from the natural and joined to the rational, dealt with above in 3030, where the same words occur.
Genesis 24:14
14
Let it happen, that the young lady to whom I will say, 'Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink,' and she will say, 'drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,'--let her be the one you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master."
