10095. 'And it shall be for Aaron and his sons by the statute of an age from among the children of Israel' means the law of order in the representative Church as regards the Lord's Divine Good and the Divine Truth emanating from that Good. This is clear from the representation of 'Aaron and his sons' as the Lord in respect of Divine Good and of the Divine Truth emanating from that Good, dealt with in 9806, 9807, 10068; from the meaning of 'the statute of an age' as a law of Divine order, dealt with in 7884, 7995, 8357; and from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as the Church, dealt with in 4286, 6426, 6637, 9340. The reason why the representative Church is meant is that this Church was established among the children of Israel, see the places referred to in 9320(end).

10068. 'And over his sons and over the garments of his sons' means a reciprocal uniting of Divine Good and Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Human in the lower heavens. This is clear from the consideration that since the sprinkling of the blood taken from the altar and of the anointing oil over Aaron means the reciprocal uniting of Divine Good and Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Human in the higher heavens, 10067, a like sprinkling over Aaron's sons and their garments means a similar uniting in the lower heavens. For what is Divine and the Lord's in the lower heavens is represented by Aaron's sons when what is Divine and the Lord's in the higher heavens is represented by Aaron himself. The reason for this is that the lower heavens spring from the higher ones, like sons from their father, see 7004, 9468, 9473, 9680, 9683, 9780. It should be remembered that the Lord's celestial kingdom is meant by the higher heavens and His spiritual kingdom by the lower heavens, and that the heavens in both kingdoms are distinct and separate, as stated and shown many times. In each kingdom what is Divine and the Lord's is the same, yet different so far as reception by the angels there is concerned.
