3973. 'Send me away and let me go to my own place and to my own land' means that at that time there was in the natural represented by Jacob a strong desire to arrive at a state in which it would be joined to everything Divine in the Rational. This is clear from the representation of 'Jacob', who is the speaker, as the good of natural truth, dealt with immediately above in 3972; from the meaning of 'place' as state, dealt with in 2625, 2837, 3356, 3387; and from the meaning of 'land' in this case as everything Divine in the Rational. For 'my land' is used to mean Isaac his father and Rebekah his mother, it being to them that he wished to be sent away and to go. 'Isaac' means the Divine Rational as regards good, see 2083, 2630, 3012, 3194, 3210, and 'Rebekah' Divine truth joined to the Divine good of the Rational, 3012, 3013, 3077. It is evident from the affectional content of the words themselves that a strong desire to be joined to these is meant.

3013. The process of introduction is described in the internal sense as follows: When the state was reached in which all things had been rearranged by the Lord into a Divine celestial order so that Divine Truth might be joined to the Divine Good of His Rational - a re-arrangement achieved through the normal channel from the natural man, that is to say, from the facts, cognitions, and matters of doctrine in the natural man - truths were at that point summoned from there by means of the Lord's Divine influx, introduced into good in the rational, and made Divine. Thus the Rational was made Divine by the Lord as regards truth as well as regards good.
