3836. Verses 25-26. And it came to pass in the morning that behold it was Leah; and he said unto Laban, What is this that thou hast done unto me? Did not I serve with thee for Rachel? And why hast thou defrauded me? And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn. “And it came to pass in the morning,” signifies enlightenment in that state; “that behold it was Leah,” signifies that there was conjunction with external truth; “and he said unto Laban, What is this that thou hast done unto me?” signifies indignation; “did not I serve with thee for Rachel?” signifies that there had been study for the affection of internal truth; “and why hast thou defrauded me?” signifies greater indignation; “and Laban said, It is not so done in our place,” signifies that the state is not such; “to give the younger before the firstborn,” signifies that the affection of interior truth should precede the affection of external truth.
