Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

10278. 'And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons' means consecration to represent the Lord's presence in both kingdoms. This is clear from the meaning of 'anointing' as producing a representation, as above; from the representation of 'Aaron' as the Lord in respect of celestial Divine Good, thus in the celestial kingdom; and from the representation of 'Aaron's sons' as the Lord in respect of spiritual good, thus in the spiritual kingdom, dealt with in 9807, 10017, 10068.
