In a general sense, being "born" in the Bible represents one spiritual state producing another, usually some form of love or affection producing or "giving birth" to truth or to desires for good. This is not hard to see: If you love someone, that love naturally gives birth to ideas on how to be good to that person and make him or her happy. This is why sons and daughters in the Bible represent true ideas and desires for good. On a higher level, though, being born represents what the Writings call "regeneration," or the life-long process of putting off our natural thoughts and desires and embracing spiritual life from the Lord. This is what the Bible means when it talks about being "born again" – if we live our lives from the Lord, He will eventually take away our evil desires so that we can be "born" as angels in heaven, free of evil desires and dark thoughts. Of course, these two levels of meaning are really one: The Lord is love itself, and if we align with Him we become forms of love and truth ourselves, expressions of His love just as the desire to do something good might be the expression of your love for a friend.

'Seir,' as in Genesis 14:6, signifies self-love.

'The land of Seir' signifies in the highest sense celestial natural good of the Lord. It has this meaning because Mount Seir was the boundary of the land of Canaan on one side, as told in Joshua 11:16-17, and all the boundaries, rivers, mountains, and lands, represent the things which were extreme. They take on their representation from the land of Canaan between them, which represents the Lord's celestial kingdom, and in the highest sense, His divine human. The extremes, which are boundaries, are the things called natural levels, because the natural levels are where the spiritual and celestial levels terminate.

To arise and go forth out of Seir, as in Deuteronomy 33:2, signifies that the Lord would make the natural principle divine so that He could become light, or intelligence and wisdom, and so Jehovah, not only regarding His human rational mind, but also regarding His human natural level, which is why says, 'Jehovah arose from Seir,' and 'went forth from Seir.'

'Seir,' as in Genesis 33:14, signifies the conjunction of spiritual and celestial things in the natural level, that is, the truth of faith with the good of charity.

In Deuteronomy 33:2-3, Numbers 24:17-18, Judges 5:4-5, and Isaiah 21:11-12, 'Seir' signifies the good which truth is joined to on the natural level, and in the highest sense, good joined to truth in the Lord's divine natural.

'Mount Seir' denotes the human essence of the Lord.
