3600. 'Behold, of the fatness of the land will be your dwelling-place' means life received from Divine Good; 'and of the dew of heaven from above' means from Divine Truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'fatness' as good, dealt with in 353, in this case Divine Good since it is used in regard to the Lord; from the meaning of 'dwelling-place' as life, dealt with in 1293, 3384, for 'dwelling-place' has reference to good, 2268, 2451, 2712; and from the meaning of 'the dew of heaven' as truth coming from good which is the product of a state of peace and innocence, dealt with above in 3579, in this case Divine Truth since it is used in regard to the Lord. Similar things had been told to Jacob, that is to say, 'God will give to you of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the land', in verse 28 above. There however 'the dew', and so truth, is mentioned first, and 'the fatness of the land', and so good, second Jacob was also told that 'God would give of' these things to him. Here however Esau is first told about 'the fatness of the land', and so about good, and secondly about 'the dew of heaven', and so about truth. He is not told however that 'God would give of' these, but that 'of them would his dwelling-place be'. From this it is also evident that 'Jacob' represents truth and 'Esau' good, and also that truth apparently occupies the prior position at first, which is a reversal of order, as accords with what has been shown many times already.
