3818. 'Laban had two daughters' means affections for truth from the good which springs from a common stock. This is clear from the representation of 'Laban' as good springing from a common stock but belonging to a parallel branch, dealt with in 3612, 3665, 3778, and from the meaning of 'daughters' as affections, dealt with in 2362, in this case affections for truth which stem from the good represented by 'Laban', see 3793.
