Arcana Coelestia #3537
3537. And Rebekah took garments of desires of Esau her elder son. That this signifies the genuine truths of good, is evident from the signification of “garments of desires,” as being genuine truths (that “garments” signify truths relatively lower may be seen above, n. 2576); “of desires” denotes genuine, because of the genuine good of the natural, which is represented by Esau the elder son (n. 3300, 3302, 3322, 3494, 3504, 3527).

1297. And let us burn them to a burning. That this signifies evils from the love of self, is evident from the signification in the Word of “to burn,” of “a burning,” of “fire,” of “sulphur,” and of “bitumen,” which are predicated of cupidities, especially of those which belong to the love of self. As in Isaiah:
Our house of holiness, and our beauty [decus], where our fathers praised Thee, hath been made a burning of fire; and all our desirable things have been made a waste (Isaiah 64:11).
Again:
Conceive chaff, bring forth stubble; your wind is a fire that shall devour you; thus will the peoples be burnings of lime; thorns lopped off, they will be kindled with fire (Isaiah 33:11-12).
Not to mention many other similar expressions. “To be burned” and “fire” are predicated of cupidities, because the case as regards them both is much the same.
