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.

9388. 'And built an altar under the mountain' means a representative sign of the Lord's Divine Human in respect of Divine Good from Him. This is clear from the meaning of 'an altar' as a representative sign of the Lord's Divine Human, dealt with in 921, 2777, 2811, 4489, and therefore the chief representative of worship of the Lord, 4541, 8935, 8940; and from the meaning of 'the mountain' as the good of love, dealt with in 4210, 6435, 8327, 8658, 8758, in this instance the Divine Good of love which emanates from the Lord, since it was Mount Sinai, where the Lord was then. 'Mount Sinai' means Divine Good united to Divine Truth emanating from the Lord, see 8805.
