32 παρελθατω παντα τα προβατα σου σημερον και διαχωρισον εκειθεν παν προβατον φαιον εν τοις αρνασιν και παν διαλευκον και ραντον εν ταις αιξιν εσται μοι μισθος

3930. And Leah saw that she had stood still from bearing. That this signifies that no other external truths had been acknowledged, is evident from the representation of Leah, as being external truth (see n. 3793, 3819); and from the signification of “bearing,” as being to acknowledge in faith and act (n. 3905, 3915, 3919). Hence Leah’s “standing still from bearing” signifies in the internal sense that no other external truths had been acknowledged.
