3853. Verse 31. And Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, and He opened her womb, and Rachel was barren. “And Jehovah saw,” signifies the Lord’s foresight and providence; “that Leah was hated,” signifies that the affection of external truth was not so dear because further from the Divine; “and He opened her womb,” signifies that thence came the doctrines of churches; “and Rachel was barren,” signifies that interior truths were not received.
