4389. 'Jacob travelled on to Succoth' means the state of life of the good from truth at that time. This is clear from the representation of 'Jacob' as the good of truth, dealt with above - at this point the good from truth at that time, a product of the truths referred to above which were linked to that good by the good meant by 'Esau'; from the meaning of 'travelling' as the order and established patterns of life, dealt with in 1293, and so the state of life; and from the meaning of 'Succoth' as the nature of that state, dealt with below in 4391, 4392.
