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)

4881. 'And she rose up' means a raising up. This is clear from the meaning of 'rising up' as implying some kind of raising up, dealt with in 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171, 4103. The raising up meant by 'rising up' describes in the spiritual sense a raising up from an obscure state into a clearer one, such as from a state of being without knowledge into a state of intelligence; for when this happens a person is raised from a state of the light of the world into a state of the light of heaven.
