3878. Verse 35. And she conceived again, and bare a son, and she said, This time I will confess Jehovah; therefore she called his name Judah; and she stood still from bearing. “And she conceived again, and bare a son” signifies, as before, spiritual conception and birth from what is external to what is still more internal; “and she said, This time I will confess Jehovah,” signifies in the supreme sense the Lord, in the internal sense the Word, in the external sense doctrine therefrom, in the present case the Divine of love and the Lord’s celestial kingdom; “therefore she called his name Judah,” signifies its quality; “and she stood still from bearing,” signifies ascent by a ladder from the earth to Jehovah or the Lord.
