Verses 1-2 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. And Jacob said when he saw them, This is God's camp. And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

'Jacob went on his way' means the progression of truth so that it might be joined to spiritual and celestial good. 'And the angels of God met him' means enlightenment coming from good. 'And Jacob said when he saw them, This is God's camp' means heaven. 'And he called the name of that place Mahanaim' means the nature of that state.
