10084. 'And you shall take them from their hands and burn [them on] the altar with the burnt offering' means a uniting to the Divine Good of Divine Love. This is clear from the meaning of 'taking from their hands' as the state following acknowledgement; for when 'waving on the palms of Aaron and his sons' means acknowledgement by means of which comes the life from God, 'taking them from their hands' means the state following acknowledgement, which is a state of being joined to good, meant by 'burning [them on] the altar with the burnt offering'. For 'burning [on] the altar' means being joined to good, 10052, and 'the burnt offering' means and describes the actual bond, 10053.
