Arcana Coelestia #4203

Study this Passage

  
/ 10837  
  

4203. 'Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar which I have erected between me and you' means a joining together. This is clear from what has been stated above. Indeed the heap and the pillar served as a sign and a witness that a covenant had been made, that is, they were a sign of and witness to friendship; and so in the internal sense a joining together is meant.
