6019. 'Jacob and all his seed with him' means of natural truth and of all matters of faith belonging to that truth; that is, the introduction of them into the Church's factual knowledge. This is clear from the representation of 'Jacob' as natural truth, dealt with in 3305, 3509, 3525, 3546, 3599, 3775, 4009, 4234, 4520, 4538; and from the meaning of 'seed' as faith springing from charity, dealt with in 255, 1025, 1447, 1610, 1940, 2848, 3310, so that 'all his seed with him' means all matters of faith belonging to natural truth.
