Arcana Coelestia # 7727
7727. 'And we must make them to Jehovah our God' means which - namely worship - is acceptable to the Lord. This is clear from what comes before; that is to say, 'sacrifices and burnt offerings' means worship, 7726, and 'flocks and herds', from which the sacrifices were taken, means the good from which the offering of worship is made, 7723, 7724, so that 'making sacrifices and burnt offerings to Jehovah' means an offering of worship from good which is acceptable - 'Jehovah' in the Word being the Lord, see 1343, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5041, 5663, 6280, 6281, 6307, 6905, 6945, 6956.
Ezekiel 12:19
19
and tell the people of the land, Thus says the Lord Yahweh concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with fearfulness, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, [and despoiled] of all that is therein, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein.
