39 det som var sønderrevet, kom jeg ikke hjem til dig med; jeg godtgjorde selv skaden; av mig krevde du det, enten det var stjålet om dagen, eller det var stjålet om natten.

4125. 'And God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream by night' means the obscure perception of that good when left to itself. This is clear from the representation of 'Laban' as intermediate good, dealt with already, also called 'the Aramean' when separated from the good represented by 'Jacob', 4112; and from the meaning of 'a dream by night' as obscurity, dealt with in 2514, 2528. Perception within that obscurity is the meaning of the statement 'God came in a dream by night'.
