3 If the chief priest by doing wrong becomes a cause of sin to the people, then let him give to the Lord for the sin which he has done, an ox, without any mark, for a sin-offering.

10034. 'And you shall burn [them on] the altar' means springing from the Lord's Divine Love. This is clear from the meaning of 'burning' as springing from Divine Love; and from the representation of 'the altar' as that which was representative of the Lord in respect of the Divine Good of Love, dealt with in 9388, 9389, 9714. The reason why springing from Divine Love is meant is that the fire on the altar was the sign of Divine Love, 6832.

8216. 'And made them drive heavily' means resistance and lack of power. This is clear from the meaning of 'wheels' as the power to advance falsities, dealt with immediately above in 8215, so that 'making them drive heavily' means being hindered by resistance, and therefore means lack of power.
