10115. 'You shall burn what is left with fire' means dispensing with them. This is clear from the meaning of 'anything of the flesh and bread that is left' as that which has not been made their own, as above in 10114; and from the meaning of 'burning with fire' as dispensing with, at this point by means of the loves that belong to the human self, thus by means of the evils which go with those loves. For love in both senses is meant by 'fire'; here the love belonging to the self is meant, which is self-love.

Self-love is meant by 'fire', see 1297, 2446, 5071, 5215, 6314, 6832, 7575.

The human self is nothing other than evil, 210, 215, 694, 874-876, 987, 1023, 1044, 3812(end), 5660.

Love belonging to the self is meant here because 'what is left until the morning' means what has not been joined to good, 10114, and what cannot be joined comes not from the Divine but from the self. The fact that this was unclean, and so was evil, is clear in Moses,

Whoever eats what is left till morning shall bear his iniquity; and that soul shall be cut off from his people. Leviticus 19:7-8.

In the same author,

If any of the flesh of the eucharistic sacrifice is eaten at all on the third day, the one offering it will not be accepted, nor will it be imputed to him. It will be an abomination, and the soul that eats of it will bear his iniquity. Leviticus 7:16-18.

The same thing is likewise clear from the statement that what was left of the manna produced worms and became putrid, Exodus 16:20.

210. What is the proprium? The human proprium consists of everything evil and false that gushes out of self-love and love of the world. It involves people believing not in the Lord or in the Word but in themselves, and their imagining that what they do not grasp through sensory evidence or through facts does not exist at all. They become as a consequence nothing but evil and falsity and so have a warped view of everything. Things that are evil they see as good, and those that are good as evil; things that are false they see as true, and those that are true as false. Realities they imagine to be nothing, and things that are nothing they imagine to be everything. They call hatred love, thick darkness light, death life, and vice versa. In the Word such people are called 'the lame and the blind'. This then is the human proprium which in itself is hellish and condemned.
