3674. And Isaac sent away Jacob. That this signifies the beginning of manifestation [existentia] is evident from the fact that Jacob now begins to represent the good of truth, thus the beginning of the manifestation of the Lord's Divine natural; for this is contained in what follows concerning the sojourning of Jacob with Laban. Wherefore by "Isaac sent away Jacob" is signified the beginning of manifestation.
