10034. 'And you shall burn [them on] the altar' means springing from the Lord's Divine Love. This is clear from the meaning of 'burning' as springing from Divine Love; and from the representation of 'the altar' as that which was representative of the Lord in respect of the Divine Good of Love, dealt with in 9388, 9389, 9714. The reason why springing from Divine Love is meant is that the fire on the altar was the sign of Divine Love, 6832.
