4079. 'If he said thus: The speckled will be your wages, then all the flocks bore speckled' means His freedom, and that in His freedom the Lord adopted those things - even evils that were linked to the goods. This is clear from the state of the matter in the internal sense, which is that He had the freedom to change the wages, and in so doing that in His freedom He adopted those things. That even evils linked to the goods are meant is clear from the meaning of 'the speckled' as good with which evils have been mingled, dealt with in 3993, 3995, 4005.

This is clear from what comes before and after; for the end in view, meant here by 'sending and fetching you from there', is reached when truth accords with good, and in that way truth has been made subject to good, and is subservient to it. This end, following Jacob's stay with Laban, is represented by the occasion when Esau ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him, and they wept, Genesis 33:4. For when the end in view, which is conjunction, is reached, the good of the rational flows into the good of the natural directly, and through the good of the natural into the truth there, as well as indirectly through the truth of the rational into the truth of the natural, and through the truth of the natural into the good there, 3573. From this it is evident why Rebekah, who represents the truth of the rational, said to Jacob, who represents the truth of the natural, 'I send and fetch you from there'.
