Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 3180

3180. 'And they called Rebekah and said to her, Are you going to go with this man? And she said, I will go' means its full consent. This becomes clear from the sense resulting from the internal sense of the words, for her reply 'I will go' to the question put to her means that she consented fully. The full consent of truth comes when truth perceives within itself the image of good, and within good the replica of itself from which it springs.
