4589. 'For this also is a son for you' means spiritual truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'a son' as truth, dealt with in 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, 3373, in this case spiritual truth since Benjamin is the son referred to here, who represents the spiritual of the celestial.

3374. 'I will give all these lands' means spiritual things. This is clear from the meaning of 'lands' here as rational concepts which, when enlightened from the Divine, are appearances of truth, dealt with above in 3368. These appearances are truths, as has also been shown above in 3364, 3365, and are therefore spiritual. In fact they are nothing else than truths from the Divine, as becomes clear from what has been stated many times about the meaning of spiritual things In the genuine sense the term 'spiritual' is used to mean the light itself of truth which comes from the Lord, just as the term 'celestial' is used to mean the whole flame of good which comes from the Lord. From this it becomes clear that because that light flows in from the Lord both into the rational part and into the natural part of a person's mind, the term 'spiritual' is applicable to both, and that it is the Divine in respect to truth that flows in. From these considerations one may know what is meant in the genuine sense by spiritual, and that there is a spiritual-rational and there is a spiritual-natural.
