Arcana Coelestia #3922

3922. And hath given me a son. That this signifies that this truth was acknowledged, is evident from the signification of a “son,” as being truth (n. 489, 491, 533, 1147); and from the signification of “giving a son,” as being to give this truth, which is the same as to acknowledge it; for every truth that is acknowledged is given by the Lord. “Giving a son” involves the same as “bearing;” and that “bearing” is acknowledgment may be seen above (n. 3905, 3915, 3919).
