9778. Verses 20-21. And thou shalt command the sons of Israel, and let them take unto thee olive oil pure, beaten, for the luminary, to cause the lamp to go up continually. In the Tent of meeting, without the veil which is over the Testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order it from evening until morning before Jehovah; a statute of an age for their generations with the sons of Israel. “And thou shalt command the sons of Israel,” signifies the church through the Word from the Lord; “and let them take unto thee olive oil,” signifies the good of charity and of faith; “pure, beaten,” signifies consequently genuine and clear; “for the luminary,” signifies the spiritual heaven; “to cause the lamp to go up continually,” signifies the consequent faith, and through faith intelligence of truth and wisdom of good from the Lord; “in the Tent of meeting,” signifies where is the presence of the Lord; “without the veil which is over the Testimony,” signifies where there is communication, and, through the uniting intermediate, conjunction with the Lord in the inmost heaven; “Aaron and his sons shall order it,” signifies perpetual influx from the Lord; “from evening until morning before Jehovah,” signifies continually in every state; “a statute of an age,” signifies Divine order; “for their generations with the sons of Israel,” signifies what is eternal in the spiritual kingdom.
