1 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν λέγων

2 ἔντειλαι τοῖς υἱοῖς ισραηλ καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγων τὰ δῶρά μου δόματά μου καρπώματά μου εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας διατηρήσετε προσφέρειν ἐμοὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς μου

3 καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς ταῦτα τὰ καρπώματα ὅσα προσάξετε κυρίῳ ἀμνοὺς ἐνιαυσίους ἀμώμους δύο τὴν ἡμέραν εἰς ὁλοκαύτωσιν ἐνδελεχῶς

4 τὸν ἀμνὸν τὸν ἕνα ποιήσεις τὸ πρωὶ καὶ τὸν ἀμνὸν τὸν δεύτερον ποιήσεις τὸ πρὸς ἑσπέραν

5 καὶ ποιήσεις τὸ δέκατον τοῦ οιφι σεμίδαλιν εἰς θυσίαν ἀναπεποιημένην ἐν ἐλαίῳ ἐν τετάρτῳ τοῦ ιν

6 ὁλοκαύτωμα ἐνδελεχισμοῦ ἡ γενομένη ἐν τῷ ὄρει σινα εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας κυρίῳ

7 καὶ σπονδὴν αὐτοῦ τὸ τέταρτον τοῦ ιν τῷ ἀμνῷ τῷ ἑνί ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ σπείσεις σπονδὴν σικερα κυρίῳ

8 καὶ τὸν ἀμνὸν τὸν δεύτερον ποιήσεις τὸ πρὸς ἑσπέραν κατὰ τὴν θυσίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ κατὰ τὴν σπονδὴν αὐτοῦ ποιήσετε εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας κυρίῳ

9 καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων προσάξετε δύο ἀμνοὺς ἐνιαυσίους ἀμώμους καὶ δύο δέκατα σεμιδάλεως ἀναπεποιημένης ἐν ἐλαίῳ εἰς θυσίαν καὶ σπονδὴν

10 ὁλοκαύτωμα σαββάτων ἐν τοῖς σαββάτοις ἐπὶ τῆς ὁλοκαυτώσεως τῆς διὰ παντὸς καὶ τὴν σπονδὴν αὐτοῦ

14 ἡ σπονδὴ αὐτῶν τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ ιν ἔσται τῷ μόσχῳ τῷ ἑνί καὶ τὸ τρίτον τοῦ ιν ἔσται τῷ κριῷ τῷ ἑνί καὶ τὸ τέταρτον τοῦ ιν ἔσται τῷ ἀμνῷ τῷ ἑνὶ οἴνου τοῦτο ὁλοκαύτωμα μῆνα ἐκ μηνὸς εἰς τοὺς μῆνας τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ

15 καὶ χίμαρον ἐξ αἰγῶν ἕνα περὶ ἁμαρτίας κυρίῳ ἐπὶ τῆς ὁλοκαυτώσεως τῆς διὰ παντὸς ποιηθήσεται καὶ ἡ σπονδὴ αὐτοῦ

16 καὶ ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ πρώτῳ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ μηνὸς πασχα κυρίῳ

17 καὶ τῇ πεντεκαιδεκάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ μηνὸς τούτου ἑορτή ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἄζυμα ἔδεσθε

18 καὶ ἡ ἡμέρα ἡ πρώτη ἐπίκλητος ἁγία ἔσται ὑμῖν πᾶν ἔργον λατρευτὸν οὐ ποιήσετε

19 καὶ προσάξετε ὁλοκαυτώματα καρπώματα κυρίῳ μόσχους ἐκ βοῶν δύο κριὸν ἕνα ἑπτὰ ἀμνοὺς ἐνιαυσίους ἄμωμοι ἔσονται ὑμῖν

20 καὶ ἡ θυσία αὐτῶν σεμίδαλις ἀναπεποιημένη ἐν ἐλαίῳ τρία δέκατα τῷ μόσχῳ τῷ ἑνὶ καὶ δύο δέκατα τῷ κριῷ τῷ ἑνί

21 δέκατον δέκατον ποιήσεις τῷ ἀμνῷ τῷ ἑνὶ τοῖς ἑπτὰ ἀμνοῖς

22 καὶ χίμαρον ἐξ αἰγῶν ἕνα περὶ ἁμαρτίας ἐξιλάσασθαι περὶ ὑμῶν

23 πλὴν τῆς ὁλοκαυτώσεως τῆς διὰ παντὸς τῆς πρωινῆς ὅ ἐστιν ὁλοκαύτωμα ἐνδελεχισμοῦ

24 ταῦτα κατὰ ταῦτα ποιήσετε τὴν ἡμέραν εἰς τὰς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας δῶρον κάρπωμα εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας κυρίῳ ἐπὶ τοῦ ὁλοκαυτώματος τοῦ διὰ παντὸς ποιήσεις τὴν σπονδὴν αὐτοῦ

25 καὶ ἡ ἡμέρα ἡ ἑβδόμη κλητὴ ἁγία ἔσται ὑμῖν πᾶν ἔργον λατρευτὸν οὐ ποιήσετε ἐν αὐτῇ

26 καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν νέων ὅταν προσφέρητε θυσίαν νέαν κυρίῳ τῶν ἑβδομάδων ἐπίκλητος ἁγία ἔσται ὑμῖν πᾶν ἔργον λατρευτὸν οὐ ποιήσετε

27 καὶ προσάξετε ὁλοκαυτώματα εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας κυρίῳ μόσχους ἐκ βοῶν δύο κριὸν ἕνα ἑπτὰ ἀμνοὺς ἐνιαυσίους ἀμώμους

28 ἡ θυσία αὐτῶν σεμίδαλις ἀναπεποιημένη ἐν ἐλαίῳ τρία δέκατα τῷ μόσχῳ τῷ ἑνὶ καὶ δύο δέκατα τῷ κριῷ τῷ ἑνί

29 δέκατον δέκατον τῷ ἀμνῷ τῷ ἑνὶ τοῖς ἑπτὰ ἀμνοῖς

30 καὶ χίμαρον ἐξ αἰγῶν ἕνα περὶ ἁμαρτίας ἐξιλάσασθαι περὶ ὑμῶν

31 πλὴν τοῦ ὁλοκαυτώματος τοῦ διὰ παντός καὶ τὴν θυσίαν αὐτῶν ποιήσετέ μοι ἄμωμοι ἔσονται ὑμῖν καὶ τὰς σπονδὰς αὐτῶν

242. The second living creature like a calf. This symbolizes the Divine truth of the Word in respect to its affection.

Beasts of the earth symbolize various natural affections. They are also embodiments of them. And a calf symbolizes an affection for knowing. This affection is represented by a calf in the spiritual world, and in the Word it is consequently also symbolized by a calf, as in Hosea,

...we repay (to Jehovah) the calves of our lips. (Hosea 14:2)

"Calves of the lips" are confessions from an affection for truth.

In Malachi:

To you who fear My name the sun of righteousness shall arise with healing in its wings... that you may grow fat like fattened calves. (Malachi 4:2)

A comparison is made with fattened calves because they symbolize people who are filled with concepts of truth and goodness owing to an affection for knowing them.

In the book of Psalms:

The voice of Jehovah... makes (the cedars of Lebanon) dance like a calf... (Psalms 29:5, 6)

The cedars of Lebanon symbolize concepts of truth. That is why the passage says that the voice of Jehovah makes them dance like a calf. The voice of Jehovah is Divine truth, in the process here of affecting.

[2] Since the Egyptians loved knowledge, they therefore made themselves calves as a sign of their affection for it. But after they began to worship the calves as deities, then calves in the Word symbolized affections for knowing falsities, as in Jeremiah 46:20-21). Therefore we are told in Hosea:

...they have made for themselves a molten image... of their silver... Sacrificing a human being, they kiss the calves. (Hosea 13:2)

To make for oneself a molten image of silver means, symbolically, to falsify truth. To sacrifice a human being means, symbolically, to destroy wisdom. And to kiss calves means, symbolically, to accept falsities out of an affection for them.

In Isaiah:

There the calf will feed; there it will lie down and consume its branches. (Isaiah 27:10)

The same is symbolically meant by the calf in Jeremiah 34:18-20.

[3] Since all Divine worship springs from affections for truth and goodness and so for concepts of them, therefore the sacrifices in which the worship of the church primarily consisted among the children of Israel used various animals, such as lambs, she-goats, kids, sheep, he-goats, calves, and oxen; and calves were used because they symbolized an affection for knowing truths and goods, which is the first natural affection. This affection was symbolically meant by the sacrifices of calves in Exodus 29:11-12, 1 1 Samuel 1:25; 16:2, 1 Kings 18:23-26, 33.

The second living creature looked like a calf because the Divine truth of the Word, which it symbolizes, affects hearts, and so teaches and instills.
