9000. 'And if he betroths her to his son' means if it is in agreement with [some] derived truth, so that it can be joined to it. This is clear from the meaning of 'son' as truth, dealt with in 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, 2803, 2813, 3373, 3704, 4257, at this point derived truth since 'the master', who is the father, means the main truth from which all the rest are derived, 8981; and from the meaning of 'betrothing' as being joined together, dealt with above in 8996.
