και εθεσε τας ραβδους, τας οποιας εξελεπισεν, εις τα αυλακια του υδατος, εις τας ποτιστρας, οπου τα ποιμνια ηρχοντο να πινωσι, δια να συλλαμβανωσι τα ποιμνια ενω ηρχοντο να πινωσι.

Arcana Coelestia #3922
3922. 'And has given me a son' means that this truth was acknowledged. This is clear from the meaning of 'a son' as truth, dealt with in 489, 491, 533, 1147, and from the meaning of 'giving a son' as giving this truth, which is the same as acknowledging it since every truth that is acknowledged is a gift from the Lord. 'Giving a son' also implies the same as 'bearing', and 'bearing' means acknowledging, see 3905, 3915, 3919.
