3297. Verses 24-26. And her days were fulfilled to bring forth, and behold twins were in her womb. And the first came forth red all over like a hairy garment, and they called his name Esau. And after that came forth his brother, and his hand laid hold on Esau’s heel, and he called his name Jacob: and Isaac was a son of sixty years when she bare them. “And her days were fulfilled to bring forth,” signifies the first state of the effect; “and behold twins were in her womb,” signifies that both were conceived together; “and the first came forth red all over like a hairy garment,” signifies the natural good of the life of truth; “and they called his name Esau,” signifies its quality; “and after that came forth his brother,” signifies truth; “and his hand laid hold on Esau’s heel,” signifies the lowest of the good of the natural, to which it adhered with some power; “and he called his name Jacob,” signifies the doctrine of truth of the natural; “and Isaac was a son of sixty years when she bare them,” signifies the state of the Divine rational at that time.
