21. Verses 4-5 And God saw that the light was good; and God made a distinction between the light and the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night.

The light is called good, because it comes from the Lord, who is good itself. 'The darkness' is those things which were there prior to the person's new conception and birth. They were seen as light, because evil was seen as good, and falsity as truth. But in reality they are darkness and things proper to that person which are lingering on. All things that are the Lord's, being things of light, are compared to the day, and all that are man's own, being those of thick darkness, are compared to the night, as is done many times in the Word.

9951. Verse 41 And with these you shall clothe Aaron your brother, and his sons with him; and you shall anoint them, and fill their hand, ¹ and sanctify them, and they shall serve Me in the priestly office. 'And with these you shall clothe Aaron your brother' means such a state of Divine Good in the spiritual kingdom. 'And his sons with him' means such a state there in the outward things emanating from that [Divine Good]. 'And you shall anoint them' means a representative sign of the Lord in respect of the good of love. 'And fill their hand' means a representative sign of the Lord in respect of the truth of faith. 'And sanctify them' means thus a representative sign of the Lord in respect of the Divine Human. 'And they shall serve Me in the priestly office' means a representative sign of the Lord in respect of all the work of salvation carried out by the Divine Human.
