1 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων

2 εντειλαι τοις υιοις ισραηλ και λαβετωσαν μοι ελαιον ελαινον καθαρον κεκομμενον εις φως καυσαι λυχνον δια παντος

3 εξωθεν του καταπετασματος εν τη σκηνη του μαρτυριου καυσουσιν αυτον ααρων και οι υιοι αυτου απο εσπερας εως πρωι ενωπιον κυριου ενδελεχως νομιμον αιωνιον εις τας γενεας υμων

4 επι της λυχνιας της καθαρας καυσετε τους λυχνους εναντι κυριου εως το πρωι

5 και λημψεσθε σεμιδαλιν και ποιησετε αυτην δωδεκα αρτους δυο δεκατων εσται ο αρτος ο εις

6 και επιθησετε αυτους δυο θεματα εξ αρτους το εν θεμα επι την τραπεζαν την καθαραν εναντι κυριου

7 και επιθησετε επι το θεμα λιβανον καθαρον και αλα και εσονται εις αρτους εις αναμνησιν προκειμενα τω κυριω

8 τη ημερα των σαββατων προθησεται εναντι κυριου δια παντος ενωπιον των υιων ισραηλ διαθηκην αιωνιον

9 και εσται ααρων και τοις υιοις αυτου και φαγονται αυτα εν τοπω αγιω εστιν γαρ αγια των αγιων τουτο αυτω απο των θυσιαζομενων τω κυριω νομιμον αιωνιον

10 και εξηλθεν υιος γυναικος ισραηλιτιδος και ουτος ην υιος αιγυπτιου εν τοις υιοις ισραηλ και εμαχεσαντο εν τη παρεμβολη ο εκ της ισραηλιτιδος και ο ανθρωπος ο ισραηλιτης

11 και επονομασας ο υιος της γυναικος της ισραηλιτιδος το ονομα κατηρασατο και ηγαγον αυτον προς μωυσην και το ονομα της μητρος αυτου σαλωμιθ θυγατηρ δαβρι εκ της φυλης δαν

12 και απεθεντο αυτον εις φυλακην διακριναι αυτον δια προσταγματος κυριου

13 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων

14 εξαγαγε τον καταρασαμενον εξω της παρεμβολης και επιθησουσιν παντες οι ακουσαντες τας χειρας αυτων επι την κεφαλην αυτου και λιθοβολησουσιν αυτον πασα η συναγωγη

15 και τοις υιοις ισραηλ λαλησον και ερεις προς αυτους ανθρωπος ος εαν καταρασηται θεον αμαρτιαν λημψεται

16 ονομαζων δε το ονομα κυριου θανατω θανατουσθω λιθοις λιθοβολειτω αυτον πασα συναγωγη ισραηλ εαν τε προσηλυτος εαν τε αυτοχθων εν τω ονομασαι αυτον το ονομα κυριου τελευτατω

17 και ανθρωπος ος αν παταξη ψυχην ανθρωπου και αποθανη θανατω θανατουσθω

18 και ος αν παταξη κτηνος και αποθανη αποτεισατω ψυχην αντι ψυχης

19 και εαν τις δω μωμον τω πλησιον ως εποιησεν αυτω ωσαυτως αντιποιηθησεται αυτω

20 συντριμμα αντι συντριμματος οφθαλμον αντι οφθαλμου οδοντα αντι οδοντος καθοτι αν δω μωμον τω ανθρωπω ουτως δοθησεται αυτω

21 ος αν παταξη ανθρωπον και αποθανη θανατω θανατουσθω

22 δικαιωσις μια εσται τω προσηλυτω και τω εγχωριω οτι εγω ειμι κυριος ο θεος υμων

23 και ελαλησεν μωυσης τοις υιοις ισραηλ και εξηγαγον τον καταρασαμενον εξω της παρεμβολης και ελιθοβολησαν αυτον εν λιθοις και οι υιοι ισραηλ εποιησαν καθα συνεταξεν κυριος τω μωυση

7978. 'And they baked the dough which they brought out of Egypt - unleavened cakes' means that from the truth of good further good was produced that had no falsity at all in it. This is clear from the meaning of 'baking' - when used in reference to the truth of good, meant by 'the dough' - as producing; from the meaning of 'the dough' as the truth of good, dealt with above in 7966; and from the meaning of 'unleavened cakes' as forms of good that have no falsity at all in them, since 'unleavened' means without falsity, see 2342, 7906. This is the second state of truth from good that they passed through when they were delivered, see above in 7966, 7972. The reason why 'cakes' means forms of good is that they are cakes of bread, and 'bread' in the internal sense is the good of love, dealt with in 276, 680, 2165, 2177, 3464, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 5915. But bread in the form of cakes is distinguished from bread in general, in that bread in the form of cakes means the good of love towards the neighbour, which is spiritual good, while bread in general means the good of love to the Lord, which is celestial good. Such spiritual good was meant by 'the minchah' which was offered and burned with the sacrifice on the altar; for 'the minchah' was baked into cakes and into wafers, as is made clear in Exodus 29:2-3, 23-24, 32; Leviticus 2:2 and following verses; 6:20-21; Numbers 6:15, 19; 15:18-21.

[2] Something similar was meant by 'the twelve loaves of the presence which too were baked into cakes, described in Moses as follows,

You shall take fine flour and bake it into twelve cakes; two-tenths [of an ephah] shall there be in one cake. And you shall place them in two rows, six in a row, on the clean table before Jehovah. And you shall put pure frankincense on each row, and it shall be loaves of bread serving as a memorial, a fire-offering to Jehovah. Leviticus 24:5-9.

From these instructions it becomes clear that 'the loaves' meant what was holy, for such instructions would never have been issued but for that reason. And since they meant what was holy they were also called in verse 9 of the same chapter 'holiness of holinesses.' 1 But these loaves meant the good of celestial love, and their being baked into cakes meant forms of the good of spiritual love. From these verses and from those in the references given above it becomes clear that something similar is meant by the bread in the Holy Supper.
