10220. This they shall give, everyone that passeth over upon those who are numbered. That this signifies the ascription to the Lord of all things of faith and love, is evident from the signification of “giving,” namely, the expiation of the soul, which was half a shekel, as being liberation from evils through the acknowledgment that everything of faith and love is from the Lord and nothing from man (of which above, n. 10218). Hence “everyone that passeth over upon those who are numbered” signifies whatever of truth and good that is set in order and disposed by the Lord. For “everyone that passeth over” is everyone of the sons of Israel, and by the “sons of Israel” are signified all spiritual goods and truths (n. 5414, 5801, 5803, 5812, 5817, 5819, 5826, 5833, 5879, 5951, 7957, 8234, 8805); and by “those who are numbered” are signified those who are set in order and disposed by the the Lord, (n. 10218).
