491. The same things are signified by “sons” and “daughters” in this chapter (verses 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 26, 30), but such as is the church, such are the “sons and daughters” that is, such are the goods and truths; the truths and goods here spoken of are such as were distinctly perceived, because they are predicated of the Most Ancient Church, the principal and parent of all the other and succeeding churches.

6919. 'And you shall put them on your sons' means application to their truths, 'and on your daughters' means application to their forms of good. This is clear from the meaning of 'sons' as truths, dealt with in 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2613, 3373; from the meaning of 'daughters' as forms of good, dealt with in 489, 491, 2362, 2363; and from the meaning of 'putting on them' as applying, for what is put on someone is applied to him.
