3608. 'And the words of Esau her elder son were pointed out to Rebekah' means the Lord's perception coming from Divine Truth concerning the inclination of natural good at that time. This is clear from the meaning of 'pointing out' as thought and reflection, dealt with in 2862, and so as perceiving; from the representation of 'Rebekah' as the Divine Truth of the Lord's Divine Rational; and from the representation of 'Esau' as natural good, dealt with above. From this it is evident that 'the words of Esau her elder son were pointed out to Rebekah' is the Lord's perception coming from Divine Truth concerning the inclination of natural good.
