45. 'Clothed with a garment down to the foot' signifies the Divine proceeding, which is Divine Truth. That 'a garment down to the foot' signifies the Divine proceeding, which is Divine Truth, is because garments in the Word signify truths. From this 'a-garment-down-to-the-foot' (talaris), which is a general garment, with the Lord signifies the Divine Truth proceeding. Garments signify truths in the Word because in heaven they are clothed in accordance with the truths proceeding out of their good, concerning which fact n. 177-182 in the work concerning HEAVEN AND HELL, published at London in the year 1758, may be seen. In the following [pages] also it will be seen that nothing else is understood in the Word in its spiritual sense by garments'; accordingly that nothing else [is understood] by the Lord's garments when He was transformed, which appeared glistening white as the light (Matt. xvii 1-4; Mark ix 2-8; Luke ix 28-36). Nor again is anything else understood by the Lord's garments that the soldiers divided (John xix 23, 24). That similar things were represented and signified by Aaron's garments (vestes), may be seen in ARCANA CAELESTIA published at London (n. 9814, 10,068); specifically what [was represented and signified] by 'the ephod' (n. 9477, 9824, 10,005); by 'the robe' (n. 9825, 10,005); by 'the tunic' (n. 9826, 9942); and by 'the mitre' (n. 9827); for Aaron was representing the Lord's priestly function. Concerning the signification of garments (vestes) out of the Word, see below (n. 166, 328).
