Rikas älköön antako enemmän älköönkä köyhä vähemmän kuin puoli sekeliä, antina Herralle, maksaaksenne sovituksen hengestänne.

Arcana Coelestia # 10304
10304. 'And put some of it before the Testimony in the tent of meeting' means worship of the Lord in heaven and in the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'the incense', which was to be put before the Testimony, as worship, dealt with above in 10298; from the meaning of 'the Testimony' as the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, dealt with in 9503; and from the representation of 'the tent of meeting' as heaven, dealt with in 9457, 9481, 9485. And since heaven is meant, so is the Church; for the Church is heaven on earth.
