In Genesis 25:34, when Esau despises his birthright, this signifies a stage in our development when the goodness in our life is not concerned with the question of priority. It's ok then that truth apparently takes the first place.

"When the good of the natural and its truth are held in mind instead of Esau and Jacob, the manner in which a person is regenerated by means of truth and good is then evident, that is to say, how at first truth residing with him apparently occupies the prior and also higher position, when in fact good in itself is the prior and higher." (Arcana Coelestia 3336)
