Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

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.
