Commentary

 

Esau and Jacob

  

Esau represents natural good in the Lord, which should be made divine, and Jacob natural truth in the Lord, which should be made divine. (Genesis 27) Esau and Jacob represent the divine good and divine truth of the Lord's divine natural principle, as conjoined with each other like brethren. Those principles, considered in themselves, are nothing else but one power (or potency) together to form and receive actual good and truth. But this representation was after that the Lord had reduced to order the natural principle as to good and truth in himself, so that it might receive the divine principle, and after that he had successively expelled all the human principle which was from the mother. (Genesis 27)
