AC 3829
And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my woman.*
(Genesis 29:21)

* Although the term "woman" in this connection is offensive to the ears of English speaking people, it is necessary to keep to the word that is used in the original, which is mulier and not uxor (Latin for wife). Moreover Rachel and Leah were not the wives of Jacob, but merely his "women," because there is no marriage possible except that of "one man with one wife" (Arcana Coelestia no. 1907), and Jacob was a polygamist.
