1854. This is like the case of spirits who were brought to believe that Aaron, with his sons, was holy when he had washed his feet and hands, and had put on that priestly attire [Ex. 40], no matter how defiled he had become. This was only persuasion by outer means regarding inner conditions, to the effect that he was holy. To this end everything was set up outwardly in such a way that spirits would be persuaded. 1748, 6 April. There was a portrayal of the Lord, both in the attire and in all the rest of his actions.
