3491. THE INTERNAL SENSE

Verse 1. And it came to pass that Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim that he could not see; and he called Esau his elder son, and said unto him, My son; and he said unto him, Behold me. “And it came to pass that Isaac was old,” signifies when the state was at hand; “and his eyes were dim that he could not see,” signifies when the rational desired to enlighten the natural with the Divine; “and he called Esau his elder son,” signifies the affection of the good of the natural, or the good of life; “and said unto him, My son; and he said unto him, Behold me,” signifies presence from being foreseen and provided.
