10060. 'And take some of its blood' means Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good in the heavens. This is clear from the meaning of 'blood', in reference to a sacrifice or burnt offering, as Divine Truth, dealt with above in 10026, 10033, at this point Divine Truth emanating from the Divine Good of the Lord's Divine Human, transmitted and received in the heavens; for this is the subject in what immediately follows. It was stated above in 10057 that a person who is being regenerated experiences two states, the first being a time when truth is implanted and joined to good, the second when the person is governed by good and good is the source of his actions. In this second state the truths present with him emanate from good, for good is the standpoint from which he sees them, speaks of them, and acts them out. Good is present in everything at this time, as the soul is within a person, or as the heart is within the body, which one who is wise also discerns in the words and actions of those who are governed by good. From this idea of a person's regeneration it is possible to have some conception of the glorification of the Lord's Human; for the way in which the Lord regenerates a person is akin to the way in which He glorified His Human, 3138, 3212, 3296, 3490, 4402, 5688. For the first state of glorification of His Human involved the implanting of Divine Truth and uniting of this Truth to the Divine Good. While He was in the world therefore the Lord made His Human Divine Truth; He also united it to the Divine Good that was within Him and in so doing made it Divine Good, see the places referred to in 9199 (end), 9315 (end). The second state of His glorification is one in which the Divine Truth emanates from Divine Good; that Truth is His Divinity as this is present in the heavens. The first state of the glorification of the Lord's Human is described in the internal sense by the things stated regarding the sacrifice of the young bull and the burnt offering of the first ram, dealt with in verses 10-18 of the present chapter. But the second state is described by those that immediately follow regarding the second ram, which is called 'the ram of fillings [of the hand]'. From all this it is evident that 'blood' here means Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good, transmitted and received in the heavens.

8127. 'And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying' means instruction received from the Divine through Divine Truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'Jehovah spoke and said', in reference to things which are going to be done or take place, as instruction received from the Divine, as in 7186, 7241, 7267, 7304, 7380, 7517; and from the representation of 'Moses' as the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, dealt with in 6723, 6752, 6771, 6827, 7010, 7014, 7089, 7382. The reason why the instruction came through Divine Truth is that Moses, who represents Divine Truth, was to speak to the people. The Divine Himself does not instruct and speak to anyone directly, not even to an angel; He does so indirectly through Divine Truth, 7796. This is the meaning of the Lord's words in John,

Nobody has ever seen God; the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, He has made Him known. John 1:18; 5:37.

'The only begotten Son' is used to mean the Lord in respect of Divine Truth. This also is why the Lord calls Himself the Son of Man, 2628, 2803, 2813, 3704. In addition, when He was in the world the Lord was Divine Truth, but after that, when He had been glorified, He also became - in respect of His Human - Divine Good. And from this Good Divine Truth now proceeded, that is, the Spirit of Truth or Holy Spirit.
