3490. THE CONTENTS. In the preceding chapters, where Isaac and Rebekah are treated of, the subject in the internal sense is the rational, and how the Lord made it Divine in Himself. In the present chapter, in the internal sense, the subject is the natural, and how the Lord made it Divine in Himself. "Esau" is the good thereof, and "Jacob" the truth. For when the Lord was in the world He made His whole Human Divine in Himself, both the interior Human which is the rational, and the exterior Human which is the natural, and also the very corporeal, and this according to Divine order, according to which the Lord also makes new or regenerates man. And therefore in the representative sense the regeneration of man as to his natural is also here treated of, in which sense "Esau" is the good of the natural, and "Jacob" the truth thereof, and yet both Divine, because all the good and truth in one who is regenerate are from the Lord.

Previously, where Isaac and Rebekah were the subject, the internal sense dealt with the Rational and how the Lord had made it Divine within Himself. The internal sense now deals with the Natural and how the Lord made that Divine within Himself. Esau is the good, Jacob the truth, of the Natural, for while He was in the world the Lord did indeed make Divine within Himself His entire Human, both that which is interior, namely the Rational, and that which is exterior, namely the Natural, and the Bodily as well. He did so according to Divine order. According to the same order also the Lord renews or regenerates man, and this is why the representative sense here deals with a person's regeneration as regards his natural. In that sense also Esau is the good of the natural, and Jacob its truth Nevertheless both are Divine because all good and truth that a regenerate person has come from the Lord.

CONTENTA{1}Prius, ubi de Jishako et Rebecca, actum est in sensu interno de Rationali quomodo Dominus illud in Se Divinum fecerat; nunc agitur in sensu interno de Naturali quomodo Dominus id in Se Divinum fecit; `Esau' est bonum ejus, et `Jacob' est verum; quippe Dominus cum in mundo fuit, totum Humanum Suum, tam interius quod est Rationale quam exterius quod est Naturale, et quoque ipsum Corporeum, in se Divinum fecit; et hoc secundum ordinem Divinum; secundum quem etiam Dominus hominem novum facit seu regenerat; quapropter in sensu repraesentativo hic quoque agitur de regeneratione hominis quoad ejus naturale, in quo sensu etiam `Esau' est bonum naturalis, et `Jacob' verum ejus; utrumque usque Divinum, quia omne bonum et verum quod regenerato, est a Domino. @1 A has two versions of this , one in vol.
