7393. 'And I will send the people away to sacrifice to Jehovah' means that they would then leave those who belonged to the spiritual Church, so that they could worship their God. This is clear from the meaning of 'sending away' as leaving, as in 7311, 7349, 7350; from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as those belonging to the spiritual Church, as in 6426, 6637, 6862, 6868, 7035, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7123; and from the meaning of 'sacrificing to Jehovah' as worshipping their God. Sacrifices were signs of all worship as a general whole, see 6905, thus worship is mean thereby 'sacrificing'.
