26 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She is more righteous than I; forasmuch as I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.

4894. 'And he returned to Judah' means reflection. This becomes clear from the fact that 'the Adullamite, Judah's companion' means falsity, 4817, 4854, 4886, and when falsity is said 'to return' and, as Judah's companion does here, to report what had happened, nothing else is meant than a recalling to mind and reflection on what the situation is.

4854. 'He and his companion Hirah the Adullamite' means that falsity was present with it still. This is clear from the representation of 'Hirah the Adullamite' as falsity, dealt with above in 4816, 4817. When therefore the expression 'his companion' is used, the attachment of falsity to that Church is meant, that is, that falsity was present with it still.
