40
At ang mga korderong ito ay inihihiwalay ni Jacob, at inihaharap ang kawan sa dakong may batik, at ang lahat ng maitim sa kawan ni Laban; sa kaniyang ibinukod ang mga kawan niya rin, at hindi isinama sa kawan ni Laban.
Genesis第30章:40
Arcana Coelestia#4020
4020. 'And the flocks brought forth variegated, speckled, and spotted ones' means that as a consequence natural good itself possessed such things, from the intermediate good meant by Laban. This is clear from the meaning of 'bringing forth' as acknowledgement and a joining together, dealt with in 3911, 3915; from the meaning of 'variegated ones' as truths with which evils have been mingled, 4005; from the meaning of 'speckled ones' as goods with which evils have been mingled; and from the meaning of 'spotted ones' as truths with which falsities have been mingled, dealt with in 3993, 3995, 4005. These are the things meant here which passed from the good meant by 'Laban' to the good of natural truth represented by 'Jacob'.
