3930. And Leah saw that she had stood still from bearing. That this signifies that no other external truths had been acknowledged, is evident from the representation of Leah, as being external truth (see n. 3793, 3819); and from the signification of “bearing,” as being to acknowledge in faith and act (n. 3905, 3915, 3919). Hence Leah’s “standing still from bearing” signifies in the internal sense that no other external truths had been acknowledged.

3920. Verse 6. And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and also hath heard my voice, and hath given me a son; therefore she called his name Dan. “And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and also hath heard my voice,” signifies in the supreme sense justice and mercy; in the internal sense, the holy of faith; and in the external sense, the good of life; “and hath given me a son,” signifies that this truth was acknowledged; “therefore she called his name Dan,” signifies its quality.
