6019. 'Jacob and all his seed with him' means of natural truth and of all matters of faith belonging to that truth; that is, the introduction of them into the Church's factual knowledge. This is clear from the representation of 'Jacob' as natural truth, dealt with in 3305, 3509, 3525, 3546, 3599, 3775, 4009, 4234, 4520, 4538; and from the meaning of 'seed' as faith springing from charity, dealt with in 255, 1025, 1447, 1610, 1940, 2848, 3310, so that 'all his seed with him' means all matters of faith belonging to natural truth.

3546. 'Into the hand of Jacob her son' means that such was the affection for natural truth This is clear from the fact that this phrase concludes those that go before it, and that at that point Jacob - who represents natural truth, 3305, 3509, 3525 - appeared thus; that is to say, he was wearing the skins of the kids of she-goats on his hands and neck and had in his hand savoury food which he was to take to his father Isaac.
