10471. 'Do not let your anger grow hot, O my lord' means, Do not let the internal therefore turn itself away. This is clear from the meaning of 'growing hot with anger' - when it has reference to 'Moses', by whom the internal is meant - as turning itself away, at this point, Do not let it turn itself away; and from the representation of Moses, to whom 'my lord' refers here, as the internal, dealt with above in 10468. Moses is called 'my lord' here by Aaron because the internal is the lord or master and the external in relation to it is the servant. A person's internal resides in heaven, and therefore when it is open it constitutes heaven within him, while his external resides in the world and so constitutes the world within him; and the world has been created to serve heaven as a servant does his master. The like applies to the external side of worship, and also to the external side of the Church, and of the Word as well, in relation to the internal side of them.
