4128. And Jacob pitched his tent in the mountain. That this signifies the state of the love in which was the good now meant by “Jacob,” is evident from the signification of a “tent,” as being the holy of love (see n. 414, 1102, 2145, 2152, 3312); and of “pitching a tent,” as being the state of that love; and from the signification of “mountain,” as being good (as above, n. 4117); here, the good now meant by “Jacob” (concerning which see above, n. 4073).
