'The Samaritans' signify the Gentiles or nations which would receive doctrine from the Lord and about Him. 'City of the Samaritan,' as in Matthew 10:5, signifies the false doctrine of people who reject the Lord. 'The Samaritans,' in Luke 10, refers to the Gentiles in charity towards their neighbors.

9388. 'And built an altar under the mountain' means a representative sign of the Lord's Divine Human in respect of Divine Good from Him. This is clear from the meaning of 'an altar' as a representative sign of the Lord's Divine Human, dealt with in 921, 2777, 2811, 4489, and therefore the chief representative of worship of the Lord, 4541, 8935, 8940; and from the meaning of 'the mountain' as the good of love, dealt with in 4210, 6435, 8327, 8658, 8758, in this instance the Divine Good of love which emanates from the Lord, since it was Mount Sinai, where the Lord was then. 'Mount Sinai' means Divine Good united to Divine Truth emanating from the Lord, see 8805.
