Therefore speak to them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet, I Jehovah will answer him according to this, according to the multitude of his idols:
'Sons of the stranger' signify counterfeit truths, or falsities. 'Our sons' signify the doctrines of truth, and 'our daughters,' the doctrines of good, as in Psalm 144:11-12.

9991. 'And two rams without defect' means purification of the spiritual or internal man. This is clear from the meaning of 'a ram' as that which is internal and so spiritual in a person, dealt with in 2830; for the internal with a person is called spiritual and the external, natural. Purification is meant because the rams were offered as burnt offerings, and burnt offerings and sacrifices in general represented purifications from evils and falsities, or expiations, burnt offerings and sacrifices of rams representing purifications or expiations of the internal or spiritual man, which are dealt with in what follows in the present chapter, where they are the subject.
