10359. 'That you may know that I Jehovah am sanctifying you' means the Lord's Divine Human, which all things of heaven and the Church look to as their one and only Source. This is clear from the meaning of 'what is holy' as that which is Divine within heaven and within the Church, for that alone is holy; and what is Divine within heaven and the Church emanates from the Lord's Divine Human, so that it is the Lord's Divine Human that alone is holy and consequently that sanctifies. From this it is evident that the Lord's Divine Human is what all things of heaven and the Church look to as their one and only Source. For heaven is heaven not by virtue of what is the angels' own but by virtue of what is Divine and the Lord's with them; and the like applies to the Church among people on earth. It says, 'I Jehovah am sanctifying you', and 'Jehovah' is used to mean the Lord. But since all these matters have often been dealt with before, see what has been stated and shown about them there,

The Lord alone is holy and all holiness emanates from Him, 9229, 9680, 9820.

Sanctification is the reception of what is Divine and the Lord's, 9820, 10128, 10276.

Angels acknowledge nothing else Divine except the Lord's Divine Human, 10159, 10267.

Thus the Lord's Divine Human constitutes heaven and the Church, because He dwells in what is His own there and not in what is others', 10125, 10151, 10157.

Jehovah in the Word is the Lord, see in the places referred to in 9373.

10128. 'And sanctify it' means in order to receive the Lord. This is clear from the meaning of 'being sanctified' as receiving the Lord. The reason why 'being sanctified' means receiving the Lord is that the Lord alone is holy, and consequently whatever emanates from the Lord is holy. To the extent therefore that a person receives good, and with the good truth from the Lord, which are holy, he receives the Lord. Whether you say receiving goodness and truth from the Lord or receiving the Lord it amounts to the same thing; for goodness and truth are the Lord's since they come from Him, and so they are the Lord in heaven and in the Church. On these matters - that the Lord alone is holy and that everything holy emanates from Him, and consequently that to receive Him is to be sanctified - see 9229, 9479, 9680, 9818, 9820, 9956, 9988, 10069. The meaning of 'being sanctified' as receiving the Lord is also evident from the consideration that the words used are 'you shall make propitiation and sanctify'; for 'making propitiation (or expiation)' means purification from evils and consequent falsities, and at the same time the implantation of truth and good from the Lord, 10127. The implantation of truth and good from the Lord is the reception of Him, and so it is sanctification. The like occurs above in the present chapter,

They shall eat those things containing what has been expiated, to fill their hand, to sanctify them. Verse 33.

'What has been expiated' there means that which has been purified from evils and consequent falsities, 9506, 10109; 'filling the hand' means implanting goodness and truth and joining them together, 10076, so that 'being sanctified' means receiving them from the Lord, 10111.
