AC 3857 - Leah and Rachel

AC 3857 [4]

'Leah' represents the affection for exterior truth,
'Rachel' the affection for interior truth.
But because exterior truths
are the first truths which a person learns,
the Lord has provided
that by means of them
a person can be introduced into interior truths.
This provision is meant
by the statement in Gen. 30:22
that God at last remembered Rachel,
hearkened to her,
and opened her womb.
