Ez pedig az, a mit áldoznod kell az oltáron: Esztendõs két bárányt mindennap szüntelen.
2 Mózes 29:38
Arcana Coelestia # 10083
10083. 'And you shall wave them as a wave offering before Jehovah' means the life from God which comes as a result of this. This is clear from the meaning of 'waving a wave offering' as endowing with life, thus the life [present in something]; and since it says from 'before Jehovah' the life from God is meant. The fact that 'waving a wave offering' means endowing with life, that is, imparting the life from God, is clear from places in the Word where 'waving a wave offering' is spoken of, as in Moses,
When you bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest, he shall wave the sheaf before Jehovah, so that you may be acceptable; on the day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. Leviticus 23:10-11.
'Harvest' means a state when the truth of faith springing from good exists, thus a state when good is present, 9295; 'a sheaf of the firstfruits' means all collectively constituting that state. 'Being waved by the priest' therefore means being endowed with life to receive a blessing; for every blessing, to be a blessing, must have life from God within it.
[2] In the same author,
Aaron shall wave the Levites before Jehovah as a wave offering 1 from among the children of Israel, that they may be used in the service of Jehovah. You shall stand the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and you shall wave them as a wave offering to Jehovah. After that the Levites shall go in to serve in the tent of meeting; and you shall purify them, and wave them as a wave offering. And when the Levites had been purified, Aaron waved them before Jehovah as a wave offering, and Aaron expiated them to purify them. Numbers 8:11, 13, 15, 21.
These verses show what 'waving a wave offering' means, namely endowing with life through acknowledgement, which is the first phase of faith, and so the first phase of life from God with a person. Knowledge, it is true, comes before acknowledgement, but knowledge has none of God's life within it until it becomes acknowledgement and then faith. The Levites represented truths serving good, while Aaron represented the good they served; that is why they were 'waved', that is, were endowed with life. This also accounts for its being said that they were to be purified. For truths must have life from God within them if they are to serve good, and that life first flows in through acknowledgement.
[3] Much the same is meant by 'a wave offering of gold' in Moses,
They came, the men with the women ... they brought brooches, nose-jewels, rings, girdles 2 , all vessels of gold; and every man who waved a wave offering of gold to Jehovah. Exodus 35:22.
'Waving a wave offering of gold to Jehovah' means endowing with life through the acknowledgement that it was Jehovah's, that is, the Lord's. 'Waving a wave offering' means such things by virtue of what that action corresponds to; for every motion corresponds to a state of thought. In the Word therefore advancing, travelling on, and like movements mean states of life, see 3335, 4882, 5493, 5605, 8103, 8417, 8420, 8557.
[4] In John,
At the pool of Bethesda lay a large multitude of sick people; and an angel went down at a certain time to the pool and stirred up the water. Then whoever stepped in first after the movement of the water was cured of whatever disease he had. John 5:2-7.
'Stirring up the water' here was in like manner a sign of the endowment of life through acknowledgement and faith, and therefore also a sign of purification by means of truths.
'Movement' means states of life, see 2837, 3356, 3387, 4321, 4882, 5605, 7381, 9440, 9967.
'Water' means the truths of faith, 2702, 3058, 3424, 4976, 8568, 9323.
All purification is accomplished by means of the truths of faith, 2799, 5954 (end), 7044, 7918, 9088.
Healings represented the restoration of spiritual life, 8365, 9031 (end).
[5] Since 'the waving on Aaron's palms' means the endowment of life through acknowledgement of the Lord and the acknowledgement that all things come from Him, something brief must be stated with regard to that acknowledgement and resulting faith. The Lord often said, when sick people were being healed, that they should have faith, and, 'Let it be to you according to your faith', as in Matthew 8:10-13; 9:2, 22, 27-29; 13:57-58; 15:28; 21:21-22, 31-32; Mark 5:34, 36; 10:49, 52; 16:16; Luke 7:9, 48-50; 8:48; 17:19; 18:42-43. The reason why He said it was that the very first thing a person needs to do is to acknowledge that the Lord is the Saviour of the world; for unless he acknowledges this no one can receive any truth or good at all from heaven, or therefore receive faith from there. And since it was the very first and most essential thing, therefore in order that He might be acknowledged when He came into the world the Lord questioned the sick, when He healed them, about their faith; and those who had faith were healed. This faith was that He was the Son of God who was to come into the world, and that He had power to heal and save. Furthermore every healing of sickness by the Lord when He was in the world served to mean a healing of spiritual life, thus served to mean the things that belong to salvation, 8364, 9031(end), 9086.
[6] Since acknowledgement of the Lord is the first thing of all belonging to spiritual life and is the most essential feature of the Church, and since no one, unless he acknowledges Him, can receive any truth of faith or good of love at all from heaven, the Lord also often says that whoever believes in Him has eternal life, and whoever does not believe in Him does not have it, as in John 1:1, 4, 12-13; 3:14-16, 36; 5:39-40; 6:28-30, 33-35, 40, 47-48; 7:37-38; 8:24; 11:25-26; 20:30-31. But at the same time He also teaches that they have faith in Him who live according to His commandments, so that the life which results from doing so goes to compose their faith. These things have been stated to cast light on and corroborate the truth that acknowledging the Lord and acknowledging that all salvation comes from Him constitute the beginning of the life from God with a person. That beginning of it is meant by the offering waved on Aaron's palms.

1. i.e. the Levites were to be offered to Jehovah as though they were a wave offering
2. i.e. bracelets, necklaces, etc
Mark 5
1
They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2
When he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an unclean spirit met him out of the tombs.
3
He lived in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with chains,
4
because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nobody had the strength to tame him.
5
Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
6
When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,
7
and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don't torment me."
8
For he said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"
9
He asked him, "What is your name?" He said to him, "My name is Legion, for we are many."
10
He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
11
Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.
12
All the demons begged him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them."
13
At once Jesus gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
14
Those who fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the country. The people came to see what it was that had happened.
15
They came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.
16
Those who saw it declared to them how it happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.
17
They began to beg him to depart from their region.
18
As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him.
19
He didn't allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you."
20
He went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone marveled.
21
When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.
22
Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,
23
and begged him much, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live."
24
He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.
25
A certain woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years,
26
and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,
27
having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes.
28
For she said, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well."
29
Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
30
Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
31
His disciples said to him, "You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'"
32
He looked around to see her who had done this thing.
33
But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34
He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease."
35
While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler's house saying, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?"
36
But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Don't be afraid, only believe."
37
He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
38
He came to the synagogue ruler's house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.
39
When he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep."
40
They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying.
41
Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha cumi!" which means, being interpreted, "Girl, I tell you, get up!"
42
Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement.
43
He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
