33 И будет говорить за меня пред тобою справедливость моя в следующее время, когда придешь посмотреть награду мою. Всякая из коз не с крапинами и не с пятнами, и из овец не черная, краденое это у меня.

3944. 'And Rachel said to Leah' means perception by the affection for interior truth, and the desire for it. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' as perceiving, dealt with in 1898, 1919, 2080, 2619, 2862, 3395, 3509, and from the representation of 'Rachel' as the affection for interior truth, dealt with in 3758, 3782, 3793, 3819. That the affection and the desire for that truth is meant is also evident from what comes next, for Rachel says, 'Give me now some of your son's dudaim'.

3013. The process of introduction is described in the internal sense as follows: When the state was reached in which all things had been rearranged by the Lord into a Divine celestial order so that Divine Truth might be joined to the Divine Good of His Rational - a re-arrangement achieved through the normal channel from the natural man, that is to say, from the facts, cognitions, and matters of doctrine in the natural man - truths were at that point summoned from there by means of the Lord's Divine influx, introduced into good in the rational, and made Divine. Thus the Rational was made Divine by the Lord as regards truth as well as regards good.
