Når fyrsten vil ofre et frivillig offer - et brennoffer eller takkoffere som frivillig offer til Herren, da skal de åpne for ham den port som vender mot øst, og han skal ofre sitt brennoffer og sine takkoffer således som han gjør det på sabbatens dag; og så skal han gå ut igjen, og når han er gått ut, skal porten lukkes.
860. Whose number is as the sand of the sea. This symbolizes the multitude of such people.
The multitude of such people is likened to the sand of the sea, because the sea symbolizes the external component of the church (nos. 402-404, 470), and the sand is something which serves no use in the sea except to compose the bottom.
Because the number of such people is so great, therefore the valley of their burial is called "The Multitude of Gog," and the name of the city where they are, "The Multitude" (Ezekiel 39:15-16).
