4547. And I will make there an altar to God. That this signifies the holy in which interior things are terminated, is evident from the signification of “making an altar to God,” as being the holy of worship (see n. 4541). It is said that interior things are terminated therein, because he was to make the altar in Bethel, which is here meant by “there,” and because by “Bethel” is signified the natural, in which interior things are terminated (see above, n. 4539).
