9460. 'From everyone whose heart is willing' means that all things should be offered out of love, and so in freedom. This is clear from the meaning of 'whose heart is willing' as in freedom. The reason why offering them out of love is meant is that all freedom is rooted in love; for what a person does out of love he does in freedom.
'Heart' has to do with love because it has to do with the will, see 7542, 8910, 9050, 9113, 9300.
All freedom is rooted in love or affection, 2870-2893, 3158, 9096, and this is why all worship must be offered in freedom, 1947, 2880, 2881, 7349.
3317. 'And Esau came from the field' means an urgent desire for the good of life. This is clear from the representation of 'Esau' as the good constituting the life of natural truth, dealt with in 3300, and from the meaning of 'coming from the field' as an urgent desire for good. For 'meditating in the field' is thought immersed in good, 3196, since 'the field' is the good which constitutes the Church, 2971.
