11-16 When the Lord comes into the world He will gather the church together, and will teach it Divine truths. (11, 11)

16-17 The evil among them He will separate. (3, 11)

18-20 Evil shepherds destroy everything of the church, (3)

21 and destroy the simple. (3, 6)

22-25 When the Lord comes He will teach and save these. (1, 11)

In Leviticus 6:16, 'Aaron and his sons eating the remainder' signifies a person's reciprocation and making something one's own. This represents conjunction by means of love and charity. This is why they were commanded to eat it 'in a holy place.'
