53. Verse 27 And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him. 'Image' is mentioned twice here for the reason that faith, which resides in the understanding, is called 'His own image', while love, which resides in the will, is called 'the image of God'. The latter comes second in a spiritual man but first in a celestial man.

10213. 'It is the holy of holies to Jehovah' means since it comes from the Divine Celestial. This is clear from the meaning of 'the holy of holies' as the Divine Celestial, dealt with in 10129. What the Divine Celestial and Divine Spiritual are, and what the difference is between them, see the places referred to in 9277, 9596.
