3590. And he said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's hunting. That this signifies that the Divine rational should appropriate to itself the truth of natural good, is evident from the representation of Isaac, who here is the "father," as being the good of the rational (concerning which frequently above) from the signification of "eating," as being to appropriate (see n. 2187, 2343, 3168, 3513); and from the signification of "hunting," as being the truth of natural good (see just above, n. 3588).
