3537. 'And Rebekah took the best clothes of Esau her elder son' means genuine truths that clothe good. This is clear from the meaning of 'best clothes' as genuine truths. For 'clothes' means truths which, in relation to other truths, are lower ones, see 2576, 'the best' of these being genuine truths because they belong to genuine natural good, represented by 'Esau the elder son', 3300, 3302, 3322, 3494, 3504, 3527.

1552. 'And gold' means goods deriving from truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'gold' as celestial good, or the good of wisdom and love, as is clear from what has just been shown and also from what was shown previously in 113. That here they are goods deriving from truths follows from what was stated in the previous chapter about the Lord's joining intellectual truths to celestial things.
