AC 3105 - "And Two Bracelets"

AC 3105

And two bracelets.
(Genesis 24:22)

That this signifies Divine truth,
is evident from the signification of "bracelets,"
as being truth, here Divine truth,
because the Lord is treated of in the internal sense;
they are said to have been "two," to denote fullness.
Bracelets were placed on the hands of a bride,
because by a bride was signified the church,
and by her hands were signified powers from truth
(that "hands" are predicated of truth . . .).
Bracelets were not only for a bride,
but also for a king
(but for a king they were on the arm,
as appears in 2 Sam. 1:10),
for the reason that royalty was
representative and significative of Divine truth
pertaining to the Lord;
and the "arm" is significative of power.
