4068. And Jehovah said unto Jacob. That this signifies the Lord's perception from the Divine, is evident from the signification in the historicals of the Word of "saying," as being to perceive (see n. 1791, 1815, 1819, 1822, 1898, 1919, 2080, 2619, 2862, 3395, 3509). That "Jehovah" is the Lord, may be seen above (n. 1343, 1736, 1793, 2921, 3023, 3035). From this it is evident that by "Jehovah said," is signified the Lord's perception from the Divine.
