Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 4870

4870. 'And she said, What do you give me for coming [in] to me?' means a conditional acceptance to become joined. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming [in] to me' as a joining together, dealt with in 4820, 4868. The fact that a conditional acceptance is meant is evident without explanation.
