9932. 'Holiness to Jehovah' means the Lord's Divine Human, and all celestial and spiritual good from there. This is clear from the meaning of 'holiness' as what is Divine and emanates from the Lord, thus as the Lord Himself in respect of the Divine Human, from which comes everything Divine in heaven. This explains why celestial good, which is the good of love to the Lord derived from the Lord, and spiritual good, which is the good of love towards the neighbour derived from the Lord, are holy; for the Lord alone is holy, and what emanates from Him, this alone, is holy in heaven and on earth, 9229, 9680, 9820. Also that which is holy, emanating from the Lord, is called the Holy Spirit, 9818; angels, prophets, and apostles are called holy by virtue of their reception of Divine Truth from the Lord, 9820; and 'the sanctuary' or holy place means heaven by virtue of what is Divine there, 8330, 9479. 'Holiness to Jehovah' is a designation that is used because in the Word Jehovah is the Lord, see the places referred to in 9373. The reason why 'Holiness to Jehovah' was engraved on a plate of gold and placed on the turban over Aaron's forehead was that so placed it could then be seen by all the people. As a consequence of this they had in mind what is holy when they engaged in worship, and this idea of something holy corresponded to that which is holy and is present in the whole of heaven, namely the Lord's Divine Human. For as has been stated, this is what composes heaven. What can be seen generally by all the people and for this reason reigns in everyone's mind enters into every aspect of thought and affection, consequently into every aspect of worship, and influences it, 6159, 6571, 7648, 8067, 8865. Therefore since what was supremely holy was kept continually before their eyes, and consequently reigned in everyone's mind, it rendered everything of worship holy.
