3980. 'If now I have found grace in your eyes' means a strong inclination. This is clear from the meaning of 'finding grace in somebody's eyes' as a strong inclination. Strong inclination is used in reference to the good meant by 'Laban' when it desires to be present. Anyone who reflects or is able to reflect on the affections present in himself for what is good and for what is true, and also on the delight and pleasure that accompany them, becomes aware of a strong inclination towards one rather than towards the other. But without such reflection these and other things like them are not apparent.
