5740. 'Morning dawned' means a state of enlightenment at this point. This is clear from the meaning of 'morning' and 'dawning' as a state of enlightenment. In the highest sense 'morning' means the Lord, see 2405, 2780, and therefore when the expression 'morning dawned' is used, a state of enlightenment is meant, since the Lord is the source of all enlightenment. 'Rising up in the morning' likewise means a state of enlightenment, see 3458, 3723.

3723. 'In the morning Jacob rose up early' means a state of enlightenment. This is clear from the meaning of 'in the morning rising up early' as a state of enlightenment, dealt with in 3458, for where 'rising up' is mentioned in the Word it implies some kind of a raising up, 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171. And 'morning' means the arrival of heavenly light, in this case a raising up from obscurity into that light, and so means a state of enlightenment.
