3315. Verses 29-30. And Jacob boiled pottage, and Esau came from the field, and he was weary. And Esau said to Jacob, Cause me to sup I pray of the red, this red, for I am weary; therefore he called his name Edom. “And Jacob boiled pottage,” signifies a chaotic mass of doctrinal things; “and Esau came from the field,” signifies the pursuit of the good of life; “and he was weary,” signifies a state of combat; “and Esau said to Jacob,” signifies the Lord’s perception from the good of the natural; “Cause me to sup I pray of the red,” signifies a longing for doctrinal things; “this red,” signifies that which is apparently good; “for I am weary,” signifies here as before a state of combat; “therefore he called his name Edom,” signifies his quality therefrom as to good, to which were adjoined the doctrinal things of truth.
