1 Samuel 2:16

16 If the man said to him, "Let the fat be burned first, and then take as much as your soul desires;" then he would say, "No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force."

10183. 'And you shall overlay it with pure gold' means a representative sign of everything of worship that arises from good. This is clear from the meaning of 'gold' as the good of love, dealt with in 9874, a founding on that good being meant by 'overlaying with gold', 9490. But its meaning as a representative sign is self-evident.
