Mount Seir
'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.

Isaiah 20
1
In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it;
2
at that time Yahweh spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, "Go, and loosen the sackcloth from off your waist, and take your shoes from off your feet." He did so, walking naked and barefoot.
3
Yahweh said, "As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and concerning Ethiopia,
4
so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
5
They will be dismayed and confounded, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.
6
The inhabitants of this coast land will say in that day, 'Behold, this is our expectation, where we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria. And we, how will we escape?'"
