713. Verse 2 Of every clean beast you shall take for yourself seven and seven of each, male and its mate, 1 and of beasts that are not clean, pairs of each, male and its mate. 1

'Every clean beast' means affections for good. 'Sevens of each' means that they are holy. 'Male and mate' 1 means that truths were joined to goods. 'The beast that is not clean' means evil affections. 'Two of each' means that in relation to goods they are unholy. 'Male and mate' 1 means falsities joined to evils.
