4090. Where thou anointedst a pillar. That this signifies where the good of truth is and its boundary, is evident from the signification of a “pillar,” as being a holy boundary, and thus the ultimate of order, and therefore truth (n. 3727); and from the signification of “anointing” (that is, of pouring oil upon the head of the pillar, which was done by Jacob), as being to make truth good (n. 3728).
