Commentary

 

Vestment

  

'Vestments' signify truth, and in relation to the Lord, divine truth. 'Vesture' signifies truth that clothes good, and when describing the Word, it signifies the Word in its literal sense, like a garment that clothes its spiritual and celestial sense.

In 2 Kings 10:22, the vestments for the worshippers of Baal signify the falsities of idolatrous worship -- the opposite of truth. (Arcana Coelestia 1372)
