4370. 'Take now my blessing which is brought to you' means the Divine goods and truths which were to become linked to Divine Natural Good. This is clear from the meaning of 'my blessing' here as the animals mentioned in verses 14, 15 of the previous chapter, which meant Divine goods and truths together with those that are subservient by means of which the introduction was to be effected, see 4263, 4264. The need for these goods and truths to become linked to Divine Natural Good has been explained above in 4364.

Canaan

  

Daughters of Canaan (Genesis 28:8) signify affections of truth that are not genuine, whereas in Genesis 28:1, they signify the affections of what is false and evil.
