4346. 'And he himself passed over in front of them' means that which is universal and so means all things. This is clear from the representation of Jacob, to whom 'he' refers here, as that good of truth, that is, truth in will and action, dealt with in 4337. The good of truth is the universal embodiment of every kind of truth, for the general, the particular, and the specific kinds of it spoken of immediately above all go with it because they are included within it.

Satisfied with favor and full with the blessing of the lord

  

'To be satisfied with favor' signifies being filled with the good of love, and 'to be full with the blessings of the Lord' signifies being filled with truths from it.
