Arcana Coelestia #4541

Study this Passage

  
/ 10837  
  

4541. 'And make there an altar to the God who appeared to you' means that which is holy there. This is clear from the meaning of 'an altar' as the chief representative of the Lord, dealt with in 921, 2777, 2811, 4489. This being so, the holiness of worship is meant by 'making an altar to God'.
