10226. 'Shall give the offering of Jehovah' means attribution to the Lord alone. This is clear from the meaning of 'the offering of Jehovah' as that which is the Lord's alone, dealt with in 10093 1 . It is all truths and forms of the good of faith and love, and the arranging and setting of them in order, as is evident from what has gone before, that belong to Him alone.

Footnotes:

1. The Hebrew word rendered offering at this point has been rendered heave offering in Chapter 29.
