AC 10110

To fill their hand.
(Exodus 28:33)

That this means to receive Divine truth . . ..

The case herein is this.
The first of all that is appropriated to a person is good,
and successively truth.
The reason is that good is the ground,
and truth is the seed;
just so in like manner does good adopt truth
and conjoin it with itself,
because it loves it like a parent.
For there is a heavenly conjugial relation
between good and truth;
and good is that which makes the life with a person,
because good is of the will,
and the will of a person is the person himself;
whereas truth does not make the life with a person
except insofar as it partakes of good, 
because truth is of the understanding,
and the understanding without the will
is not the person himself,
but only an entrance to the person,
for entrance is made through the understanding.

A person may be compared to a house
in which are a number of rooms,
one of which leads into another.
Those who are in truths as to the understanding only,
are not in any room of the house, but only in the court;
but insofar as through the understanding
truth enters into the will,
so far the person enters into the rooms
and dwells in the house.
Moreover, in the Word
a person is compared to a house,
and the truth which is of the understanding alone
is compared to a court;
but the truth which has been made also of the will,
and has there become good,
is compared to an inhabited room
and to the very bedchamber.

That good is that which is first of all
appropriated to a person from the Lord
is evident from his infancy and early childhood;
when, as is well known,
he has the good of innocence
and the good of love toward his parents,
and toward his nurse,
and the good of charity toward his infant companions.
This good flows in from the Lord with infants
so that it may serve in advancing age
for the first of the Lord's life with a person,
and thus for a plane to receive truths.
This good is also preserved with a person
when he grows up,
if he does not destroy it by a life of evil
and derived from that a faith of falsity.
When we speak of good,
charity toward the neighbor is meant,
and love to the Lord,
for all that which is of love and charity is good.

AC 10111

To sanctify them.
(Exodus 28:33)

That this means that they may be
in truths from good from the Lord
. . . in a spiritual sense it denotes to be led by the Lord,
because the Lord alone is holy,
and everything holy proceeds from Him.
From this it is evident
that to receive truths through good from the Lord,
thus faith through love from Him to Him,
is to be "sanctified."
This does not mean
that regarded in himself
a person is on this account holy,
but the Lord with him;
for faith and love are the Lord with a person,
because they are continually from Him.
