8365. 'For I, Jehovah, am your Healer' means that the Lord alone preserves them from evils. This is clear from the meaning of 'healing' as curing of and also preserving from evils; for when evils are meant by 'sicknesses', curing people of them and preserving them from them is meant by 'healing', [here] and also many times in the Word, such as in Moses,

I kill and I make alive, I strike and I heal. Deuteronomy 32:39.

In Jeremiah,

Heal me, O Jehovah, in order that I may be healed; save me, in order that I may be saved. Jeremiah 17:14.

In the same prophet,

I will restore health to you ¹ and heal you of your blows. Jeremiah 30:17.

In David,

His whole bed you have turned in his sickness. ² I said, O Jehovah, be merciful to me; heal my soul, for I have sinned against You. Psalms 41:3-4.

The same may be seen in many other places besides these, such as Isaiah 6:10; 53:5; 57:18-19; Jeremiah 3:22; 17:14; Hosea 6:1; 7:1; 11:3; 14:4; Zechariah 11:16; Psalms 30:2; and elsewhere. And since 'healing' had this meaning, the Lord also calls Himself 'a physician',

Those who are well have no need of a physician but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Matthew 9:12-13; Mark 2:17; Luke 5:31-32.

10082. 'And you shall put all these on Aaron's palms and on the palms of his sons' means acknowledgement in the heavens that those things belong to and come from the Lord. This is clear from the meaning of all the parts taken from the ram - the fat, kidneys, and right flank - and all that was contained in the basket, namely the bread, cakes, and wafers, as forms of Divine Good and Divine Truth, which belong to the Lord because they come from the Lord, dealt with in 10070-10080; from the meaning of 'the palms' as things that come from one's own power, thus that which is properly one's own, dealt with below; and from the representation of 'Aaron and his sons' as the Lord in respect of Divine Good and of Divine Truth emanating from that Good, dealt with in 9806, 9807, 10017. The reason why things that come from one's own power is meant by 'the palms', and why 'being put on the palms' consequently means the acknowledgement that all those things belong to the Lord and come from the Lord, is that the palms are part of the hands and power is meant by 'the hands', and 'putting on the palms' means attributing something, thus acknowledging the ownership of it. For what comes next states that the offering was to be waved on the palms, by which the life from God that comes as a result is meant; and that life from God is imparted through faith, the first phase of which is acknowledgement. Since power is meant by 'the hands' it follows that full power is meant by 'the palms of the hands', because in the palms lies the full grip of the hands. Consequently when palms are attributed to the Lord and to Divine Truth emanating from His Divine Good, as it is here, almighty power is meant. From all this it is evident that 'putting on the palms of Aaron and his sons' means acknowledgement of the Lord's almighty power, thus that all things belong to Him because all things come from Him in the heavens.

'The hands' means power, see 4931-4937, 5327, 5328, 6947, 7188, 7189, 7518.

'Hand' and 'right hand' used in reference to the Lord mean almighty power, 3387, 4592, 4933, 7518, 7673, 8050, 8153, 8281, 9133.

Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good possesses all power, 6948, 8200, 9327, 9410, 9639, 10019.
