10285. 'It is holy; it shall be holy to you' means because it is Divine and the Lord's. This is clear from the meaning of 'holy', in reference to the anointing oil, as that which is Divine and the Lord's, the anointing oil being a representative sign of the Divine Good of Divine Love within the Lord's Divine Human, thus a representative sign of His Divine Human. For it amounts to the same thing whether you say the Divine Good of Divine Love or the Divine Human. It is because this Good was meant by the anointing oil and represented by anointing, and because that Good alone is holy (so that what emanates from Him, being His, is holy), that the oil was declared so many times to be holy.
