5634. 'And the men took this gift' means that the truths had with them the means to obtain favour. This is clear from the meaning of 'the men' as the truths, dealt with in 3134; and from the meaning of 'the gift' presented by people when they went to kings and priests, as to obtain favour, dealt with in 5619.
