852. The symbolism of the seventh month as holiness is abundantly clear from §§84-87, 395, 716 above, where this is demonstrated. The holiness implied here parallels what Genesis 2:3 said about the person of heavenly character: that the seventh day was consecrated because God rested on it. 1

Footnotes:

1. This discussion of Genesis 2:3 appears in §§84-87, a passage mentioned in the previous sentence. [LHC]
