36 에서가 가로되 `그의 이름을 야곱이라 함이 합당치 아니하니이까 ? 그가 나를 속임이 이것이 두번째니이다 전에는 나의 장자의 명분을 빼앗고 이제는 내 복을 빼앗았나이다' 또 가로되 `아버지께서 나를 위하여 빌 복을 남기지 아니하셨나이까 ?'

3512. And make me dainties. That this signifies the desire and delight from the pleasantness thence, is evident from the signification of “dainties,” as being what is pleasing (n. 3502), thus desire and delight from the pleasantness thereof, that is, from truth; for as before said in the number cited, truths are introduced into the natural of man by what is pleasing and in agreement therewith; and those which are not so introduced do not inhere, and thus are not conjoined with the rational by correspondence. Moreover, like all other memory-knowledges, truths are allotted their place in the memory that belongs to the natural man in accordance with the pleasant and delightful things that introduced them; as is evident from the fact that when these pleasant and delightful things return, the things that were introduced by them also return; and also on the other hand that when these things are recalled, there are at the same time excited the delightful and pleasant things to which they had been adjoined.
