15 Bet ji atsakė: “Ar negana tau, kad turi mano vyrą, ar nori atimti ir mano sūnaus mandragorus?” achelė tarė: “Tegul jis šią naktį praleidžia su tavimi už tavo sūnaus mandragorus!”

3947. And wouldest thou take also my son’s dudaim? That this signifies that thus would be withdrawn the conjugial of natural good with external truth, is evident from the signification of “taking,” as being here to withdraw; from the signification of the “dudaim,” as being what is conjugial (see n. 3942); and from the signification of a “son,” as being truth, (see n. 489, 491, 533, 1147); here, external truth, because it is Leah who says it; and that “Leah” is external truth has been shown above.
