3685. 'And had gone to Paddan Aram' means so as to be furnished with cognitions of that good and truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'going' or journeying as the order and established pattern of life dealt with in 1293, 3335. Here therefore it means so as to be furnished - according to order - with cognitions of that good and truth, which are meant by 'Paddan Aram', 3664, 3675.
