3517. 'Now, my son, hearken to my voice, to what I command you' means the desire and pleasure perceived by Divine Truth within the Divine Rational towards natural truth. This is clear from the representation of 'Rebekah', who speaks these words, as the Divine Truth of the Divine Rational, dealt with already, and from the representation of 'Jacob', to whom they are addressed, as natural truth, also dealt with already. The fact that desire and delight is meant is evident without explanation.
