Genesis 33:10

Estude

       

10 And Jacob said, No, I pray thee; if now I have found favour in thine eyes, then receive my gift from my hand; for therefore have I seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou hast received me with pleasure.

4348. 'Until he came right up to his brother' means a joining on the part of good that develops from truth, meant by 'Jacob'. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming right up to' as so as to join oneself; from the representation of Esau, to whom 'brother' refers here, as Divine Good within the natural, dealt with above in 4337; and from the representation of 'Jacob' as the good of truth, also dealt with above in 4337. The implications of all this have been explained immediately above in 4347.

6902. 'And you are to say to him' means influx. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' as influx, dealt with in 5743, 6152, 6291. The reason why 'saying' here is influx is that the communication dealt with in 6901 - the communication of such truths as belong to the law from God, and to intelligence acquired from that source - is effected by means of influx.
