3972.“雅各对拉班说”表属世真理的良善转向来自一个神性源头的旁系良善（collateral good），内层便通过这良善被联结起来。这从“雅各”和“拉班”的代表清楚可知：“雅各”是指属世真理的良善（参看3659，3669，3677，3775，3829节）；“拉班”是指来自一个神性源头的旁系良善（3612，3665，3778节）。内层的联结是通过该良善实现的，这一点在前面反复解释过了（3665，3690节等）。该良善由“拉班的羊群”来表示，雅各通过“拉班的羊群”为自己获得自己的羊群，如下文所述。
Potts(1905-1910) 3972
3972. That Jacob said unto Laban. That this signifies the good of natural truth to the collateral good from a Divine origin, by which there is a conjunction of the interiors, is evident from the representation of Jacob, as being the good of natural truth (see n. 3659, 3669, 3677, 3775, 3829); and from the representation of Laban, as being collateral good from a Divine origin (n. 3612, 3665, 3778). That the conjunction of the interiors is effected through this good, has been repeatedly explained before (n. 3665, 3690, and elsewhere). This good is signified by the "flock of Laban," through which Jacob procured for himself his own flock (concerning which in what follows).
Elliott(1983-1999) 3972
3972. 'That Jacob said to Laban' means the good of natural truth turned to the parallel good from a Divine origin, by means of which good interior things are joined together. This is clear from the representation of 'Jacob' as the good of natural truth, dealt with in 3659, 3669, 3677, 3775, 3829, and from the representation of 'Laban' as a parallel good from a Divine origin, dealt with in 3612, 3665, 3778. As regards the joining together of interior things being effected by means of that good, this has been explained several times already, see 3665, 3690, and elsewhere. This good is also that which is meant by 'Laban's flock', by means of which Jacob obtained for himself his own flock - matters dealt with in what follows.
Latin(1748-1756) 3972
3972. `Et dixit Jacob ad Laban': quod significet veri naturalis bonum ad bonum collaterale ab origine Divina, per quod conjunctio interiorum, constat ex repraesentatione `Jacobi' quod sit veri naturalis bonum, de qua n. 3659, 3669, 3677, 3775, 3829; et ex repraesentatione `Labanis' quod sit bonum collaterale ab origine Divina, de qua n. 3612, 3665, 3778; quod conjunctio interiorum fiat per illud bonum, prius aliquoties explicatum est, videatur n. 3665, 3690, et alibi: hoc bonum etiam est quod significatur per `gregem Labanis,' per quem Jacob sibi suum gregem comparavit, de quibus in sequentibus.
