14
En uw zaad zal wezen als het stof der aarde, en gij zult uitbreken in menigte, westwaarts en oostwaarts, en noordwaarts en zuidwaarts; en in u, en in uw zaad zullen alle geslachten des aardbodems gezegend worden.
Genesis 28:14
Arcana Coelestia # 3672
3672. To cause thee to inherit the land of thy sojournings. That this signifies the life of instructions, is evident from the signification of “inheriting,” as being to have another’s life (n. 2658, 2851); in the present case, life from the Divine, which is signified by the words which presently follow; and from the signification of “sojournings,” as being instructions (n. 1463, 2025); “land” signifies where life is. The life of instructions here treated of is the life of good from truth, which is here represented by Jacob; for when man lives according to the truths in which he is instructed, he is then in the life of instructions.
