7328. 'both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone' means of the good of charity and of the truth of faith - a total falsification of them. This is clear from the meaning of 'vessels of wood' as forms of the good of charity, dealt with in 2784, 2812, 3720; and from the meaning of 'vessels of stone' as forms of the truth of faith, dealt with in 1298, 3720, 6416.

2812. 'And laid the pieces of wood in order' means the righteousness that was allied to it. This is clear from the meaning of 'the pieces of wood for a burnt offering' as the merit of righteousness, dealt with above in 2784, 2798, and of 'laying the pieces of wood in order on the altar' as allying it to the Divine human. The merit of righteousness is allied when it is present, and there is from truth the conviction that it belongs to Him.
