4367. And Jacob said, Nay I pray. That this signifies the first beginning of affection, may be seen from what was said just above, namely, that refusing to accept a present instills affection, which is here manifested by his saying, "Nay I pray." From this it is evident that these words denote the first beginning of affection.
