9395. 'And half of the blood he sprinkled over the altar' means Divine Truth from the Lord's Divine Human. This is clear from the meaning of 'the blood' as Divine Truth, dealt with just above in 9393; and from the meaning of 'the altar' as a representative of the Lord's Divine Human, dealt with in 921, 2777, 2811, 4489, consequently the chief representative of worship of the Lord, 4541, 8935, 8940. The reason why this 'half of the blood', which was sprinkled over the altar, means Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Human and the other 'half of the blood', which was sprinkled over the people, verse 8 below, means this Divine Truth when accepted by a member of the Church, is this: A covenant was being established, and by 'a covenant' is meant being joined together, 665, 666, 1023, 1038, 1864, 1996, 2003, 2021, 6804, 8767, 8778, and the Lord comes to be joined to a member of the Church when Divine Truth which emanates from the Lord is accepted by a person. From this it is evident why blood was used, and when sprinkled over the altar and over the people was called the blood of the covenant, verse 8.
Isaiah 56:4-5
4
For thus says Yahweh, "To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast my covenant:
5
to them I will give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
