3566. Verses 24-25 And he said, Are you my very son Esau? And he said, I am. And he said, Bring it to me, and I will eat from my son's venison, so that my soul may bless you. And he brought it to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.

'He said, Are you my very son Esau? And he said, I am' means a state of affection for natural truth, in that at that point it believed itself to be natural good because of its outward form. 'And he said, Bring it to me, and I will eat from my son's venison' means a desire to join natural truth to itself by means of good. 'So that my soul may bless you' means conjunction. 'And he brought it to him, and he ate' means first of all a conjunction of good. 'And he brought him wine, and he drank' means followed by a conjunction of truth.
