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.

Genesis 33

Studie

   

1 Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two handmaids.

2 He put the handmaids and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.

3 He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

4 Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept.

5 He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, "Who are these with you?" He said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."

6 Then the handmaids came near with their children, and they bowed themselves.

7 Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.

8 Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" Jacob said, "To find favor in the sight of my lord."

9 Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours."

10 Jacob said, "Please, no, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.

11 Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough." He urged him, and he took it.

12 Esau said, "Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before you."

13 Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.

14 Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir."

15 Esau said, "Let me now leave with you some of the folk who are with me." He said, "Why? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord."

16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.

17 Jacob traveled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.

18 Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan Aram; and encamped before the city.

19 He bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for one hundred pieces of money.

20 He erected an altar there, and called it El Elohe Israel.
