Arcana Coelestia # 3944
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'.
Arcana Coelestia # 3395
3395. 'And Isaac said to him, Because I said, Perhaps I may die because of her' means that it would not be received. This is clear from what has been stated above in 3387, at the words 'for he was afraid to say, My wife, [thinking,] The men of the place may perhaps kill me on account of Rebekah'. More plainly than anywhere else 'saying' here means perceiving and thinking.
