212. "'And white garments, that you may be clothed.'" This symbolically means, in order to acquire for themselves genuine truths of wisdom.

To be shown that garments symbolize the truths clothing goodness, see no. 166 above, and that white is predicated of truths, no. 167. White garments, therefore, symbolize genuine truths of wisdom, and this because gold refined in fire symbolizes the goodness of celestial love, the truths accompanying this love being genuine truths of wisdom.
