Damascus

  

In Genesis 14:15, Damascus, being the chief city of Syria, signifies knowledge of good and truth. (Arcana Coelestia 1715)

In Ezekiel 27:18, this signifies external knowledge. (Apocalypse Explained 376[18])

In Isaiah 17:3, this signifies people who value religion for knowing only external things. (The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms 17)

Damascus and Aroer (Isaiah 17:1, 2) signify knowledge of truth and good. See Eliezer of Damascus.

7 Its drink offering shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb. You shall pour out a drink offering of strong drink to Yahweh in the holy place.

8 The other lamb you shall offer at evening: as the meal offering of the morning, and as the drink offering of it, you shall offer it, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

9 "'On the Sabbath day two male lambs a year old without blemish, and two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, and the drink offering of it:

10 this is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink offering of it.
