3319. 'And Esau said to Jacob' means the Lord's perception from the good of the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' as perceiving, dealt with in 1791, 1815, 1819, 1822, 1898, 1919, 2080, 2862, from the representation of 'Esau' as the Lord as regards the good of the Natural, dealt with in 3300, 3302, and in what follows shortly regarding Edom, and from the representation of 'Jacob' as the truth of the Natural, dealt with in 3305, regarding which there was perception.

2862. 'That it was pointed out to Abraham, saying' means the Lord's perception. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'being pointed out' as thought and reflection, and of 'saying' as perceiving, often dealt with already. The Lord's reflection and perception, dealt with in the internal sense of the Word, cannot be expressed in any other way in historical narratives than as 'being pointed out' and 'laying'. Furthermore reflection and perception in itself is an internal pointing out and saying.
