Arcana Coelestia (Potts) n. 10211

10211. Once in the year he shall make expiation upon it. That this signifies the perpetual removal of evils, is evident from the signification of "once in the year," as being what is perpetual (see above, n. 10209); and from the signification of "expiating," as being purification from evils and the consequent falsities (n. 9506); and purification from evils is nothing but a withholding from them, or their removal (see the places cited in n. 10057).
