9956. 'And sanctify them' means thus a representative sign of the Lord in respect of the Divine Human. This is clear from the meaning of 'sanctifying or 'making holy' as representing the truly holy, namely the Lord in respect of the Divine Human, for this alone is holy, and it is the source of everything holy in heaven and on earth. Anyone may recognize that the oil did not make them holy, but that it acted as a representative sign of holiness. To take further the implications of all this, the Lord Himself is above the heavens, for He is the Sun of the angelic heaven. The Divine which emanates from Him - from that Sun - in the heavens is what is called holy. There could be no representation of that which is Divine and the Lord's above the heavens because this is infinite; only what is Divine and the Lord's in the heavens could be represented, for this is suited to reception by the angels there, who are finite. This presence of the Divine in the heavens, perceived by those there as the Lord's Divine Human, which alone is holy, is what was represented. From this it is evident what 'being made holy' means, and why it is mentioned after anointing, as in Moses in these among other examples elsewhere,

You shall anoint the altar and sanctify it. Exodus 29:36.

You shall anoint the tent of meeting, and all that is in it, and sanctify them. Exodus 30:25-29.

You shall anoint Aaron and sanctify him. Exodus 40:13.

He anointed Aaron and his garments, his sons and their garments, and sanctified them. Leviticus 8:12, 30.

The Lord alone is holy, everything holy comes from Him, and everything made holy served to represent Him, see 9229, 9680.

The Lord in the heavens, thus also heaven, is meant by the sanctuary or holy place, 9479.

The Holy Spirit is that which is Divine emanating from the Lord, 9818, 9820.

8127. 'And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying' means instruction received from the Divine through Divine Truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'Jehovah spoke and said', in reference to things which are going to be done or take place, as instruction received from the Divine, as in 7186, 7241, 7267, 7304, 7380, 7517; and from the representation of 'Moses' as the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, dealt with in 6723, 6752, 6771, 6827, 7010, 7014, 7089, 7382. The reason why the instruction came through Divine Truth is that Moses, who represents Divine Truth, was to speak to the people. The Divine Himself does not instruct and speak to anyone directly, not even to an angel; He does so indirectly through Divine Truth, 7796. This is the meaning of the Lord's words in John,

Nobody has ever seen God; the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, He has made Him known. John 1:18; 5:37.

'The only begotten Son' is used to mean the Lord in respect of Divine Truth. This also is why the Lord calls Himself the Son of Man, 2628, 2803, 2813, 3704. In addition, when He was in the world the Lord was Divine Truth, but after that, when He had been glorified, He also became - in respect of His Human - Divine Good. And from this Good Divine Truth now proceeded, that is, the Spirit of Truth or Holy Spirit.
