3588. That Esau his brother came from his hunting. That this signifies the truth of good and its arrival is evident from the representation of Esau, as being the good of the natural (concerning which see above); from the signification of “coming,” as being arrival; and from the signification of “hunting,” as being the truth which is from good (n. 3501).
