10100. 'To anoint [them] in them' means to represent the Lord in respect of Divine Good. This is clear from the meaning of 'anointing' as consecration to represent the Lord in respect of Divine Good, dealt with in 9954, 10019, at this point by those who receive what is Divine and the Lord's in the natural; for the decree that 'Aaron's garments shall be for his sons after him' means the Lord's Divine Spiritual within the natural, 10098, 10099.
