4541. And make there an altar unto God who appeared unto thee. That this signifies what is holy there, is evident from the signification of an “altar,” as being the principal representative of the Lord (see n. 921, 2777, 2811, 4489); and therefore “to make an altar to God” signifies what is holy of worship.
