'And Moses went down from the mountain to the people' means application and preparation by the truth from God, in order that truths may be received within good. 'And sanctified the people' means covering over their interiors in order that those people may appear in the holiness of faith. 'And they washed their garments' means purification of the truths of faith. 'And he said to the people, Be ready by the third day' means complete preparation. 'Do not go near a woman' means purification of the good of faith.
