10279. 'And sanctify them to serve Me in the priestly office' means to represent the Lord's whole work of salvation. This is clear from the meaning of 'being sanctified' as representing the Lord in respect of the Divine Human, dealt with above in 10276; and from the representation of 'the priestly office' of Aaron and his sons as the Lord's work of salvation in its successive order, dealt with in 9809, 10017.
