Take one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams without blemish; and bread of unleavened things, and cakes of unleavened things mixed with oil, and wafers of unleavened things anointed with oil; of fine flour of wheat shalt thou make them. And thou shalt put them upon one basket, and bring them near in the basket; and the bullock and the two rams. "And this is the word that thou shalt do to them," signifies a law of order; "to sanctify them," signifies a representation of the Lord in respect to the Divine Human; "to minister to Me in the priest's office," signifies to represent all the work of salvation by Him; "take one bullock a son of the herd," signifies the purification of the natural or external man; "and two rams without blemish," signifies the purification of the spiritual or internal man; "and bread of unleavened things," signifies the purification of the celestial in the inmost of man; "and cakes of unleavened things mixed with oil," signifies the purification of the middle celestial; "and wafers of unleavened things anointed with oil," signifies the celestial in the external man; "of fine flour of wheat shalt thou make them," signifies the truth which is from Divine good; "and thou shalt put them upon one basket," signifies the sensuous in which they are; "and bring them near in the basket," signifies thus the presence of all; "and the bullock and the two rams," signifies the natural or external of man, and his spiritual or internal, which are to be purified.
