3165. 'And gave them to Rebekah' means which passed at that point to the affection for truth. This is clear from the representation of 'Rebekah' as the affection for truth, dealt with in 2865, 3077. The words immediately above - 'vessels of silver, vessels of gold, and garments' - describe the affection for truth as the bride. Those words mean therefore that at that point the affection for truth was such, or what amounts to the same, those things passed at that point to the affection for truth.
