4645. Verses 6-8 And Esau took his wives (femina), and his sons, and his daughters, and all the souls of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his purchase which he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to a land away from Jacob his brother. For their acquirements were too many for them to dwell together, and the land of their sojournings could not bear them because of their cattle. And Esau dwelt on Mount Seir, Esau being Edom.

'Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the souls of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his purchase which he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to a land away from Jacob his brother' means all forms of Divine Good, and of Truth rooted in that Good, which were nevertheless His, with which there was correspondence in heaven and from which heaven existed. Esau's departure from Jacob took place for the sake of what was represented by his departure. 'For their acquirements were too many' means on account of the infinity of them. 'For them to dwell together' means the representatives. 'And the land of their sojournings could not bear them because of their cattle' means that it is impossible to describe them all. 'And Esau dwelt on Mount Seir' means the truth of Natural Good. 'Esau being Edom' means the Lord's Divine Human.
