Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

3588. 'That Esau his brother came in from his hunting' means truth acquired from good and its arrival. This is clear from the representation of 'Esau' as the good of the natural, dealt with above, from the meaning of 'coming in' as arrival, and from the meaning of 'venison' as truth which is acquired from good, dealt with in 3501.
