Arcana Coelestia # 4385
4385. 'And Esau said, Let me now place with you some of the people who are with me' means that some truths supplied by the truth of good might be joined. This is clear from the meaning of 'placing with you' as joining together, and from the meaning of 'the people who are with me' as some truths supplied by the truth of good 'The people' means truths, see 1259, 1260, 2928, 3295, 3581; and therefore 'the people who are with me' means truths of good. What truths of good are has been stated a number of times already. They are those truths which proceed from good and which the good flowing in by way of the internal man into the external holds within itself. As regards those truths being meant by the four hundred men that Esau had with him, see above in 4341. At this point therefore some of those truths are meant since the expression 'some of the people who are with me' is used.

1147. 'And sons were born to them' means matters of doctrine deriving from those three. This is clear from the meaning of 'sons' in the internal sense as truths of faith, and also as falsities. Consequently matters of doctrine, both true and false, are meant, for such are the doctrines of Churches. That 'sons' has such a meaning, see above in 264, 489, 491, 533.
