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?

3609. And she called unto Jacob her younger son, and said unto him. That this signifies the state of observation of the affection of truth from influx through Divine truth, is evident from the representation of Rebekah, who “called and said,” as being the Divine truth of the Lord’s Divine rational conjoined with the Divine good therein; from the representation of Jacob, as being natural truth, or the affection of truth therein (concerning which representations see above); and from the signification of “calling him and saying to him,” as being a state of perception (concerning which also see above); here a state of observation, because the natural is the subject treated of.
