9299. And the fat of My feast shalt not remain overnight until the morning. That this signifies the good of worship not from the man’s own, but from the Lord, always new, is evident from the signification of “remaining overnight,” as being that which is from man’s own, for by “night” in the Word is signified what is evil and false (see n. 221, 709, 6000, 7776, 7851, 7870, 7947), thus also man’s own, because this is nothing but evil and falsity (n. 210, 215, 694, 874-876, 987, 1023, 1044, 4318, 5660, 5786, 8480); from the signification of “fat,” or “fatness,” as being the good of love (n. 353, 5943), here the good of love in worship, because it is said “the fat of the feast,” and “a feast” denotes worship (n. 9286, 9287, 9294); and from the signification of “the morning,” as being the Lord and His coming, as can be seen from what has been shown above concerning the morning (n. 2405, 2780, 5962, 8426, 8427, 8812); consequently here, where the subject treated of is the good of worship that is not from man’s own, by “the morning” is signified such good from the Lord always new.
