4875.“你的带子”表通过真理，也就是同意的信物。这从“带子”的含义清楚可知，“带子”是指真理。“带子”之所以表示真理，是因为它是与衣服有关的事物之一，而衣服一般表示真理；因为正如衣服包裹身体，真理包裹良善（参看297，2132，2576，4545，4763节）。因此，在古人当中，凡他们穿的衣服都表示某种特定和具体的真理。所以，上衣（tunic）具有一种含义，外衣（斗篷）具有另一种含义，最外面的衣服（宽袍）又具有一种含义；头上的包裹物，如头巾和冠冕，也具有一种含义；腿和脚的包裹物，如裤子和袜子，又具有一种含义等等。但“带子”表示最外在或最低层的真理，因为它是由缠在一起的线制成的，以此表示这种真理的最终界线。摩西五经中的“带子”也表示这种真理：
凡敞口的器皿，就是没有盖上盖、没有封上带子的，也是不洁净。（民数记19:15）
这表示若没有一个外在界限，任何事物都不可存在；因为凡没有一个外在界限之物都是“敞口”的。此外，最外层的真理充当内层真理的外在界限和终端。

4875. And thy kerchief. That this signifies by means of truth, namely, a token of consent, is evident from the signification of a "kerchief," as being truth. That a "kerchief" denotes truth, is because it is among those things which relate to garments, and by garments are in general signified truths; for as garments clothe the flesh, so truths clothe good (see n. 297, 2132, 2576, 4545, 4763). Among the ancients therefore, everything with which they were clothed signified some special and particular truth; hence a tunic signified one truth, the outer garment [chlamys] another, the outermost garment [toga] another; the coverings of the head too, as the miter and turban, another; also the coverings of the thighs and feet, as breeches and stockings, another; and so on. But a "kerchief" signified outermost or lowest truth, being made of threads twisted together, by which the determinations of such truth are signified. A "kerchief" signifies such truth also in Moses: Every open vessel upon which there is not a cloth (or kerchief) for a covering, it is unclean (Num. 20:15); whereby was signified that nothing should be indeterminate; for whatever is indeterminate is open. Moreover, it is outermost truths to which interior truths are determined, and in which they terminate.

4875. 'Your cord' means through truth, that is to say, truth accompanying the token of consent. This is clear from the meaning of 'a cord' as truth. The reason 'a cord' means truth is that it is one of the items associated with 'garments', and 'garments' in general means truths, for the reason that as garments clothe the flesh, so truths clothe good, 297, 2132, 2576, 4545, 4763. Among the ancients therefore whatever clothing they wore meant some specific or individual truth. Consequently a tunic had one meaning, a chlamys another, and a toga another; also coverings for the head, such as a turban and a mitre, had one meaning, coverings for the thighs and feet, such as breeches, stockings, and so on, had another meaning. But 'a cord' meant outermost or lowest truth, for it was made from threads twisted together, by which the final demarcation of that kind of truth was meant. This kind of truth is again meant by 'e cord' in Moses,
Every open vessel on which there is no covering [or] cord [to fasten it] is unclean. Num 19:15.
By this was meant that nothing should exist without having an outer limit, for that which does not have an outer limit is 'open'. Furthermore outermost truths serve as the outer limit and terminus of interior truths.

4875. `Panniculum tuum': quo significet per verum, nempe tessera consensus, constat a significatione `panniculi' quod sit verum;quod `panniculus' sit verum, est quia est inter illa quae ad vestes referuntur, et per `vestes' in genere significantur vera, ex causa quia sicut vestes investiunt carnem, ita vera bonum, n. 297, 2132, 2576, 4545 4763; ideo apud antiquos unumquodvis quo vestiebantur, {1}aliquod speciale et particulare verum significabat; inde aliud tunica, aliud chlamys, aliud toga, etiam aliud indumenta capitis, ut cidaris et tiara, et aliud indumenta femorum et pedum, ut femoralia, tibialia, et sic porro; `panniculus' autem significabat verum extimum seu infimum; erat etiam ex filis contortis, per quae significatur veri talis determinationes; tale etiam verum significat panniculus apud Mosen, Omne vas apertum, super quo non operculum panniculus, immundum id, Num. xix 15;
per quod significatum est quod nihil indeterminatum erit, quod enim indeterminatum, hoc 'apertum' est; sunt etiam extima vera ad quae interiora vera determinantur et in quibus terminantur. @1 aliquid$
