9902. 'Over his heart' means out of Divine Love to eternity. This is clear from the meaning of 'heart' as the good of love, dealt with in 3313, 3635, 3883-3896, 7542, 9050, so that when the Lord, represented here by Aaron, is the subject, Divine Love is meant. This is why 'carrying over the heart' means preserving out of Divine Love to eternity.
