3525. 'Jacob said to Rebekah his mother' means the Lord's perception from Divine Truth concerning natural truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' in historical narratives of the Word as perceiving, dealt with in 3509, from the representation of 'Jacob' as natural truth, dealt with in 3305, and from the representation of 'Rebekah' as the Divine Truth of the Lord's Divine Rational, dealt with in 3012, 3013, 3077. The reason why perception from Divine Truth concerning natural truth is the meaning and not, as appears to be the case from the sense of the letter, from natural truth concerning Divine Truth, is that all perception which the natural possesses originates in the rational. Here, therefore, since the subject has reference to the Lord, perception originating in the Divine Truth of the Divine Rational is meant.

3013. The process of introduction is described in the internal sense as follows: When the state was reached in which all things had been rearranged by the Lord into a Divine celestial order so that Divine Truth might be joined to the Divine Good of His Rational - a re-arrangement achieved through the normal channel from the natural man, that is to say, from the facts, cognitions, and matters of doctrine in the natural man - truths were at that point summoned from there by means of the Lord's Divine influx, introduced into good in the rational, and made Divine. Thus the Rational was made Divine by the Lord as regards truth as well as regards good.
