46 sa ebekka til Isak: Jeg er kjed av mitt liv for disse Hets døtres skyld; skulde nu også Jakob ta sig en hustru av Hets døtre, slik en som disse, en av landets døtre, hvad skulde jeg da leve efter?

3517. And now my son hearken unto my voice, according to that which I command thee. That this signifies desire and delight perceived from the Divine truth in the Divine rational toward natural truth, is evident from the representation of Rebekah who speaks these things, as being the Divine truth of the Divine rational, concerning which above; and from the representation of Jacob to whom these things are said, as being natural truth, concerning which also above. That it is desire and delight, is manifest without explication.
