3922. 'And has given me a son' means that this truth was acknowledged. This is clear from the meaning of 'a son' as truth, dealt with in 489, 491, 533, 1147, and from the meaning of 'giving a son' as giving this truth, which is the same as acknowledging it since every truth that is acknowledged is a gift from the Lord. 'Giving a son' also implies the same as 'bearing', and 'bearing' means acknowledging, see 3905, 3915, 3919.
