8074. 'That you shall make over to Jehovah all that open the womb' means that faith springing from charity, which comes with regeneration, is the Lord's. This is clear from the meaning of 'making over' as ascribing, the same meaning that 'sanctifying' above in 8042, and 'sacrificing' belong in 8088, have; and from the meaning of 'whatever opens the womb' as faith springing from charity, the faith present in one who has been regenerated, dealt with above in 8042, 8043. And 'Jehovah' is the Lord, see 8046.

8046. 'It is Mine' means that it is the Lord's. This is clear from the fact that in the Word 'Jehovah' is the Lord, 1343, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5041, 5663, 6281, 6303, 6905, 6945, 6956, so that 'it is Mine' means that it is the Lord's. The fact that all good and all truth, thus charity and faith, have their origin in the Lord, and none whatever in man, see 904 (end), 2411, 3142, 3147, 4151, 5482, 5649, 6193, 6325, 6466-6495, 6613-6626, 6982, 6985, 6996, 7004, 7055, 7056, 7058, 7270, 7343.
