10091. And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the waving. That this signifies the Divine spiritual acknowledged in heaven and in the church, is evident from the signification of “sanctifying,” as being to represent the Lord and the holy things which are from Him (see n. 9956, 9988); from the signification of “the breast,” as being the Divine spiritual in heaven (n. 10087); and from the signification of “the waving,” as being vivification through acknowledgment (see n. 10083, 10089). The Divine spiritual is Divine truth in the middle or second heaven, which heaven is also called the spiritual kingdom.

8365. For I am Jehovah thy healer. That this signifies that the Lord alone preserves from evils, is evident from the signification of “to heal,” as being to cure, and also to preserve from evils, for when “diseases” signify evils, “to heal” signifies a remedy and preservation from them, as also frequently in the Word, thus in Moses:

I kill, and I make alive; I smite and I heal (Deuteronomy 32:39).

Heal me, O Jehovah, that I may be healed; save me that I may be saved (Jeremiah 17:14).

I will make healing to go up unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy plagues (Jeremiah 30:17).

Thou hast turned all his bed in his disease; I said, O Jehovah, have compassion on me: heal my soul because I have sinned to Thee (Psalms 41:3-4).

Besides in many other passages, as Isaiah 6:10; 53:5; 57:18-19; Jeremiah 3:22; 17:14; Hosea 6:1; 7:1; 11:3; 14:4; Zech. 11:16; Psalms 30:2; and elsewhere. And as “healing” has this signification, the Lord also calls Himself a “physician”:

Those who are strong have no need of a physician, but those who are ill; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance (Matthew 9:12-13; Mark 2:17; Luke 5:31-32).
