9988. To sanctify them. That this signifies to represent the Lord in respect to the Divine Human, is evident from the signification of "to sanctify," as being to represent the Lord as to the Divine Human (see n. 9956). That this is "to sanctify" is because the Lord alone is holy, and because all that is holy proceeds from Him, and all sanctification represents Him (n. 9479, 9680, 9820).
