4177.“为你的两个女儿服事十四年”表第一个时期是为了祂能由此为自己获得对真理的情感。这从“十四”或两周和“两个女儿”的含义清楚可知。“十四”或两周是指第一个时期,在圣言中,“周或星期”无非一个完整的时期,无论长短(参看2044,3845节);当“两周”作为一个时期被提及时,意思是一样的,因为一个数字的两倍和平方并不改变它的意思。由此明显可知,“十四”或“两周或两个星期”在此是什么意思。“两个女儿”,就是此处的拉结和利亚,是指对真理的情感(3758,3782,3793,3819节);“女儿”表示情感(2362节)。
Potts(1905-1910) 4177
4177. Fourteen years for thy two daughters. That this signifies the first period in order that He might acquire to Himself therefrom the affections of truth, is evident from the signification of "fourteen," or two weeks, as being the first period; for in the Word "weeks" signify nothing else than an entire period great or small (see n. 2044, 3845), and when two weeks are named as one, the signification is the same, for to double a number and to multiply it into itself does not take away its signification; whence it is manifest what is meant here by "fourteen," or two weeks; and from the signification of the "two daughters," here Rachel and Leah, as being the affections of truth (n. 3758, 3782, 3793, 3819); "daughters" signify affections (n. 2362).
Elliott(1983-1999) 4177
4177. 'Fourteen years for your two daughters' means the first period, the purpose of which was that He might acquire to Himself the affections for truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'fourteen', or two 'weeks', as the first period (for the expression 'weeks' in the Word means nothing else than a whole period, long or short, see 2044, 3845; and when 'two weeks' are referred to as a single period the same applies, since the doubling and the squaring of a number does not alter the meaning. From this it is evident what 'fourteen' or two 'weeks' means here); and from the meaning of 'two daughters', who in this case are Rachel and Leah, as affections for truth, dealt with in 3758, 3782, 3793, 3819, and in addition in 2362, where the meaning of 'daughters' as affections is dealt with.

4177. `Quatuordecim annis in duabus filiabus tuis': quo significet primam periodum ut sibi acquireret inde affectiones ver constat a significatione `quatuordecim' seu binarum septimanarum, quod sint prima periodus; `septimanae' enim in Verbo non aliud significant quam integram periodum, magnam vel parvam, videatur n. 2044, 3845; `binae septimanae' cum sicut una nominantur, similiter, numerus enim duplicatus et in se multiplicatus non tollit significationem; inde patet quid hic quatuordecim seu binae septimanae; et a significatione `binarum filiarum,' hic Rachelis et Leae, quod sint affectiones veri, de qua n. 3758, 3782, 3793, 3819;et praeterea quod `filiae' sint affectiones, n. 2362.
