4209. Verses 54-55. And Jacob sacrificed a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren to eat bread; and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mountain. And in the morning Laban arose early, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban departed and returned to his place. “And Jacob sacrificed a sacrifice in the mountain,” signifies worship from the good of love; “and called his brethren to eat bread,” signifies the appropriation of good from the Lord’s Divine natural; “and they did eat bread,” signifies the effect; “and tarried all night in the mountain,” signifies tranquillity; “and in the morning Laban arose early,” signifies the enlightenment of this good from the Lord’s Divine natural; “and kissed his sons and his daughters,” signifies the acknowledgment of these truths and of the affections of the same; “and blessed them,” signifies the consequent joy; “and Laban departed and returned to his place” signifies the end of the representation by Laban.
