And Aaron and his sons thou shalt cause to come··near to▵ the entrance of the Tabernacle of the congregation◦, and thou shalt bathe them with waters.
Exodus 29:4
Arcana Coelestia # 10074
10074. 'And the two kidneys and the fat that is on them' means the more internal, purified truth of the natural man and its good. This is clear from the meaning of 'the kidneys' as the more internal truth of the external or natural man; and from the meaning of 'the fat that is on them' as its good, dealt with above in 10032. The reason why purified truth is what is meant by 'the kidneys' is that the kidneys are organs purifying the blood, 10032, and 'the blood' means truth, 9393, 10026.
