6020. 'His sons and his sons' sons with him' means truths in their own order. This is clear from the meaning of 'sons' as truths, dealt with in 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, 3373. Truths are also meant by 'the sons of sons', but truths which spring in their own order from those meant by 'sons'.

3525. 'Jacob said to Rebekah his mother' means the Lord's perception from Divine Truth concerning natural truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' in historical narratives of the Word as perceiving, dealt with in 3509, from the representation of 'Jacob' as natural truth, dealt with in 3305, and from the representation of 'Rebekah' as the Divine Truth of the Lord's Divine Rational, dealt with in 3012, 3013, 3077. The reason why perception from Divine Truth concerning natural truth is the meaning and not, as appears to be the case from the sense of the letter, from natural truth concerning Divine Truth, is that all perception which the natural possesses originates in the rational. Here, therefore, since the subject has reference to the Lord, perception originating in the Divine Truth of the Divine Rational is meant.
