10081. That is before Jehovah. That this signifies from the Divine good of the Lord, is evident from the fact that "Jehovah" in the Word denotes the Lord, who is called "Jehovah" from Divine good, and "God" from Divine truth. That all those things which are here said of the second ram, and are called "fillings of the hand," signify the Divine of the Lord in the heavens proceeding from the Divine good of His Divine love, is plain from what has been shown above. (That "Jehovah" in the Word denotes the Lord, see the places cited in n. 9373; and that the Lord is called "Jehovah" where the Divine good is treated of, and "God" where the Divine truth is treated of, see n. 2769, 2807, 2822, 4402, 6303, 9167.)
