10268. 'And with it you shall anoint the tent of meeting' means in order to represent what is Divine and the Lord's in the heavens. This is clear from the meaning of 'to anoint with the holy oil' as to produce a representation of the Divine Good of the Lord's Divine Love as to His Divine Human, for 'anointing' means producing a representation (things which had been anointed were called holy not because of the oil but because of the representation of what was Divine, which oil is the sign of; for 'oil' is a sign of the Divine Good of Divine Love, and 'holiness' a sign of the Divine Human since the Human alone is holy, as becomes clear from what has been shown above in 9954, 10011, 10019, 10264-10267); and from the meaning of 'the tent of meeting' as heaven in its complete entirety - the inmost or third heaven being meant by the place where the ark of the Testimony was; the middle or second by the place where the table with the loaves of the presence, the lampstand, and the altar of incense were; and the lowest or first by the place where the court was, regarding all of which, see 9457, 9481, 9485, 9784, 9963, 10230, 10242, 10245. From all this it is evident that 'anointing the tent of meeting' means producing a representation of the Divine Good of the Lord's Divine Love as to His Divine Human; and since this is meant by 'anointing the tent of meeting', in order to represent what is Divine and the Lord's in the heavens is also meant. For heaven is heaven not by virtue of anything in angels that is entirely their own, only by virtue of what is Divine and the Lord's with them, see 9408, 10125, 10151, 10157, 10159.

10242. 'When they go into the tent of meeting' means worship springing from the good of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'going into the tent of meeting', when said in reference to Aaron and his sons, as representing all things of worship springing from the good of faith. The reason why these things were represented by going into the tent of meeting is that all things of worship springing from the good of love were represented by approaching the altar. There are two essential constituents of Divine worship, the good of faith and the good of love; Divine worship must consist of the first kind of good or else of the second. The good of faith is the good of charity towards the neighbour, and the good of love is the good of love to the Lord. These two kinds of good differ from each other as what is spiritual and what is celestial do; for the nature of the difference between them, see in the places referred to in 9277. Worship springing from spiritual good, which is the good of faith, that is, from the good of charity towards the neighbour, was represented by the services performed by Aaron and his sons in the tent of meeting, in which those services were performed every day; for that tent represented the heaven where spiritual good reigns. But worship springing from celestial good, which is the good of love to the Lord, was represented by the services performed by Aaron and his sons at the altar, see 9963, 9964, 10001, 10025.
