43 Da svarte Laban og sa til Jakob: Døtrene er mine døtre, og barna er mine barn, og buskapen er min buskap, og alt det du ser, er mitt; hvad skulde jeg da nu kunne gjøre mot disse mine døtre eller mot deres barn, som de har født?

4071. 'And I will be with you' means that in that case it will be Divine. This is clear from the fact that the speaker was Jehovah, and 'Jehovah' is used to mean the Lord, as above in 4068, and so to mean the Divine. 'Being with him' in whom this is - that is, one who is this - means being Divine. The highest sense, whose subject is the Lord, is such that separate entities are seen in the sense of the letter but a single entity in the highest internal sense.
