3501. And hunt me a hunting. That this signifies the truth of good, is evident from the signification of “to hunt” and “a hunting,” as being the truth of the natural from which is the good of life (n. 3309); here it signifies truth which is from good, because said to Esau, by whom as before said is represented the good of the natural.
