3689. Verses 10-11 And Jacob went out from Beersheba and went to Haran. And he came upon a place, and spent the night there because the sun had gone down. And he took one of the stones of the place and placed it as his headrest, and lay down in that place.
'Jacob went out from Beersheba' means life more remote from matters of doctrine that are Divine. 'And went to Haran' means closer to that degree of good and truth. 'And he came upon a place' means a state. 'And spent the night there because the sun had gone down' means life enveloped in obscurity. 'And he took one of the stones of the place' means the truths belonging to that state. 'And placed it as his headrest' means a very general communication with the Divine. 'And lay down in that place' means the serenity of that state.
