Twins

  

'Twins in the womb,' as in Genesis 25:24, signifies that both good and truth, represented by Esau and Jacob, were conceived together.

The natural as to its good is from the good of the rational as a father, and as to its truth from the truth of the rational as a mother. Each of these is called soul, but good is primarily such. (Arcana Coelestia 3299)

In Genesis 38:27, this signifies that good and truth are both elements of the church and are pairs. (Arcana Coelestia 747, 4918)

4885. 'And Judah sent the kid of the she-goats' means a conjugial pledge. This is clear from the meaning of 'the kid of the she-goats' as a pledge of conjugial love or a pledge assuring a joining together, dealt with above in 4871.
