20 and thou shalt slaughter the ram, and take of its blood, and put [it] on the tip of the [right] ear of Aaron, and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the great toe of their right foot; and thou shalt sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.

10158. 'I am Jehovah their God' means the source of all the good of love and truth of faith. This is clear from the consideration that 'Jehovah' means the Divine Being (Esse), and the Divine Being is Divine Love, thus Divine Good, whereas 'God' means the Divine Manifestation (Existere), and the Divine Manifestation is the Divine that constitutes faith, thus is Divine Truth. For all truth is a manifestation of good since truth is the outward form that good takes. From all this it is evident that when the Lord is called 'Jehovah God' all the good of love and truth of faith is meant, and when the words 'Jehovah God in the midst of the children of Israel' are used perception that the Lord is the source of all the good which belongs to love and the truth which constitutes faith is meant, as above in 10155.
