Arcana Coelestia # 10615
10615. 'And proclaimed the name of Jehovah' means worship of the Lord springing from the truths and forms of the good of faith and love, and so preparation for reception. This is clear from the meaning of 'proclaiming the name of Jehovah' as worship of the Lord springing from the truths and forms of the good of faith and love. For 'proclaiming' means worship, see 440, 2724, while 'the name of Jehovah' means everything in its entirety by which the Lord is worshipped, thus everything of faith and love, 2724, 6674, 9310, and also the Lord's Divine Human, 2628, 6887, 'Jehovah' in the Word being the Lord, see in the places referred to in 9373. From all this it is evident that 'proclaiming the name of Jehovah' means worship of the Lord springing from the truths and forms of the good of faith and love. The reason why preparation for being received is also meant is that the subject in what follows immediately after this is the Israelite nation who were to be received and for whom Moses prayed.
Arcana Coelestia # 440
440. 'Then they began to call on the name of Jehovah' means that Church's worship deriving from charity. This becomes clear from the fact that 'calling on the name of Jehovah' is a normal and common expression for all worship of the Lord. Its being worship deriving from charity is clear from the fact that the name, Jehovah' is used here, 'God' in the previous verse. It is also clear from the fact that it is impossible to worship the Lord except from charity. Worship stemming from faith that has no connection with charity is not possible, because it is worship solely of the lips and not of the heart. The fact that 'calling on the name of Jehovah' is a common expression for all worship of the Lord is clear from the Word, as where it is said of Abram that
He built an altar to Jehovah and called on the name of Jehovah. Genesis 12:8; 13:4.
Also,
He planted a grove in Beersheba and there he called on the name of Jehovah, the God of eternity. Genesis 21:33.
That all worship is meant is clear in Isaiah,
Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, said, You did not call upon Me, O Jacob, but you have been weary of Me, O Israel! You have not brought Me the small cattle of your burnt offerings, nor honoured Me with your sacrifices. I have not made you serve Me with the minchah, nor wearied you with frankincense. Isaiah 43:14, 22-23.
These verses present in summary form the whole of representative worship.
