3932. 'And gave her to Jacob as his wife' means that this means joined the two together. This is clear from the meaning of 'giving as his wife' as joining together, as above in 3915, 3917.

1147. 'And sons were born to them' means matters of doctrine deriving from those three. This is clear from the meaning of 'sons' in the internal sense as truths of faith, and also as falsities. Consequently matters of doctrine, both true and false, are meant, for such are the doctrines of Churches. That 'sons' has such a meaning, see above in 264, 489, 491, 533.
