10223. 'Half a shekel shall be the offering to Jehovah' means that all forms of truth springing from good are the Lord's alone. This is clear from the meaning of 'half a shekel' as all forms of truth springing from good, dealt with above in 10221; and from the meaning of 'an offering to Jehovah' as that which is the Lord's alone, dealt with in 10093.
