25 For whoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.

Commentary

 

Olive leaf plucked off in the dove’s mouth

  

'The olive leaf plucked off in the dove's mouth,' in Genesis 8:11, signifies some little part of the truth of faith. 'A leaf' is faith and 'olive' is the good of charity. 'To be plucked off' signifies that the truth of faith originates in the good of charity.
