4389. 'Jacob travelled on to Succoth' means the state of life of the good from truth at that time. This is clear from the representation of 'Jacob' as the good of truth, dealt with above - at this point the good from truth at that time, a product of the truths referred to above which were linked to that good by the good meant by 'Esau'; from the meaning of 'travelling' as the order and established patterns of life, dealt with in 1293, and so the state of life; and from the meaning of 'Succoth' as the nature of that state, dealt with below in 4391, 4392.

1614. 'For to you will I give it' means that it was His. This is clear without explanation. That 'the land', or heavenly kingdom, is the Lord's alone is clear from what has been shown many times, namely that there is no other Lord of heaven. And being the Lord of heaven He is also the Lord of the Church. This is also clear from the fact that everything celestial and spiritual, or good and true, comes from the Lord alone. The Lord is therefore the All in all of His heaven, insomuch indeed that anyone who has no discernment of good and truth from the Lord is no longer in heaven. This sphere is the sphere that reigns throughout the whole of heaven. It is also the very soul of heaven, and is the life that flows into all who are governed by good.
