Arcana Coelestia #4348
4348. 'Until he came right up to his brother' means a joining on the part of good that develops from truth, meant by 'Jacob'. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming right up to' as so as to join oneself; from the representation of Esau, to whom 'brother' refers here, as Divine Good within the natural, dealt with above in 4337; and from the representation of 'Jacob' as the good of truth, also dealt with above in 4337. The implications of all this have been explained immediately above in 4347.
Nil, ou fleuve d'Égypte
Le "Nil" ou "fleuve d'Égypte" représente les choses sensorielles soumises à l'esprit intellectuel, et les idées scientifiques qui en découlent. C'est parce qu'elles sont les parties extrêmes des choses spirituelles dans le royaume du Seigneur.
