Arcana Coelestia #53
53. Verse 27 And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him. 'Image' is mentioned twice here for the reason that faith, which resides in the understanding, is called 'His own image', while love, which resides in the will, is called 'the image of God'. The latter comes second in a spiritual man but first in a celestial man.

6223. 'And [someone] told Jacob' means a discernment by the truth of the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'telling' as discernment, dealt with in 3608, 5601; and from the representation of 'Jacob' as the truth of the natural, dealt with in 3305, 3509, 3525, 3546, 3599, 3775, 4009, 4234, 4520, 4538, 6001.
