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.
