in the heavens from what is inmost, n. 3780, 8517. The reason why a burnt-offering is called an odor of rest to Jehovah, is, because by the burnt-offering was represented the unition of the Lord's Divine Human with the Divine itself, as shown above, n. 10,053; and by that unition was acquired peace in the heavens; for all the hells were subjugated by the Lord, when He was in the world, and all the heavens were reduced into order, n. 9715, 9809, 9937, 10,019. Hence it is evident, why it is, that the burnt offering is called an odor of rest to Jehovah; as in several other places, where the burnt-offerings and the meatofferings are treated of, as Levit. i. 9, 13, 17; chap. ii. 2, 9, 12; chap. iii. 5; chap. iv. 31; chap. vi. 6, 15; chap. viii. 28; chap. xxiii. 13, 18; Numb. xv. 3, 7, 13; chap. xxviii. 6, 8, 13; chap. xxix. 2, 6, 13.

10,055. "This is an offering by fire to Jehovah"-that hereby are signified all things from the Divine Love, is manifest from the signification of an offering by fire to Jehovah, as denoting that it is from the Divine Love, for fire in the Word signifies love in each sense, and when said of Jehovah or the Lord, it signifies the Divine Love. That fire denotes love in each sense, may be seen, n. 4906, 5215, 6314, 7324; and that in the supreme sense, in which it relates to Jehovah or the Lord, it denotes Divine Love, n. 6832, 6834, 6849. The burnt-offering is called an offering by fire to Jehovah, because the Divine [being] assuined the Human, and from the Human fought against the hells and subdued them, and at the same time united it to the Divine, to save the human race, out of pure love; that this unition is signified by the burnt-offering, may be seen, n. 10,042, 10,053.

10,057. "And thou shalt take the second ram "-that hereby is signified the following state, which is of Divine Truth pro ceeding from the Divine Good of the Lord in the heavens, appears from what precedes and follows. The subject treated of in what goes before was the sacrifices from the bullock, and the burnt-offering from the first ram; in what follows it treats of the second ram, and of the filling of the hand by it, and lastly of the sacrifice from the bullock, and of the daily burnt-offering from lambs. Who cannot see, if he thinks from reason at all enlightened, that in every particular of these things there lies concealed the arcana of heaven? For otherwise, to what purpose could the sacrifices and burnt-offerings have been instituted with so many ceremonials, as that the altar should be overflowed with blood, and that blood should be given upon the auricle of the ear, the thumb of the hand and the great toe of the foot, of Aaron and of his sons, and also upon their garments; and that in the sacrifice the fat of the intestines, of the liver, and of. the kidneys, with the kidneys themselves, should be burnt upon the altar, and the rest of the parts burnt with fire out of the camp, or eaten; and in the burnt-offering that the intestines and the legs should be placed on the segments and the head burned; also that those things which were from the second ram should be first shaken upon the palms of the hands of Aaron and of his sons, and that some parts of it should be eaten? Let any one, who is so disposed, consider, whether such things would not have been merely terrestial, and of no account, if they had not involved holy arcana? And if they involve holy arcana, those arcana must be altogether such as relate to heaven and the church, and in the supreme sense to the Lord, for these alone are holy, because Divine. If it be a tenet of faith that the Word is holy and inspired by the Divine as to each and every expression [omnia et singula], it must be also a tenet of faith, that each and every thing, which was instituted concerning sacrifices and burnt-offerings, comprehend and contain in them inwardly such arcana. What they com. prehend and contain in them, however, cannot at all be known in the earths, unless it be known what is signified by such things in the heavens; but, what is signified the internal sense of the Word alone teaches, since this sense unfolds correspondences; for all things which are in the natural world correspond to those which are in the spiritual world, by reason that the former world exists and subsists from the latter. But what the sacrifices and burnt-offerings, which are described in this chapter, involve, will be shown in a series from the unfolding of the corresponden ces by the internal sense. In the supreme sense, in which all
