Verse 65. And every good natural affection conjoined with its truth, every spiritual affection, all the truth of faith, and all the good of innocence in the natural man, which are in freedom devoted to the Lord, as the result of peace and harmony between the internal and external man. Thus they worship the Lord who are in truth from good springing from opposition to evil, and who are a medium.

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.
