4919. And it came to pass when she travailed. That this signifies production, is evident from the signification of "travailing," as being to acknowledge in faith and act (n. 3905, 3915, 3919); and as whatever is acknowledged in faith and act is produced, therefore by "travailing" is also signified production, namely of good and truth, which are of the church.
