3933. And Zilpah Leah’s handmaid bore Jacob a son. That this signifies the acknowledgment of external truth, is evident from the signification of “bearing,” as being acknowledgment; from the signification of a “handmaid,” as being an affirmative conjoining means; and from the signification of a “son,” as being truth (n. 489, 491, 533, 1147).
