利未記 2
2
帶到亞倫子孫作祭司的那裡；祭司就要從細麵中取出一把來，並取些油和所有的乳香，然後要把所取的這些作為紀念，燒在壇上，是獻與耶和華為馨香的火祭。
3
素祭所剩的要歸給亞倫和他的子孫；這是獻與耶和華的火祭中為至聖的。
4
若用爐中烤的物為素祭，就要用調油的無酵細麵餅，或是抹油的無酵薄餅。
8
要把這些東西做的素祭帶到耶和華面前，並奉給祭司，帶到壇前。
9
祭司要從素祭中取出作為紀念的，燒在壇上，是獻與耶和華為馨香的火祭。
10
素祭所剩的要歸給亞倫和他的子孫。這是獻與耶和華的火祭中為至聖的。
11
凡獻給耶和華的素祭都不可有酵；因為你們不可燒一點酵、一點蜜當作火祭獻給耶和華。
12
這些物要獻給耶和華作為初熟的供物，只是不可在壇上獻為馨香的祭。
13
凡獻為素祭的供物都要用鹽調和，在素祭上不可缺了你神立約的鹽。一切的供物都要配鹽而獻。
Seven
Seven, as in Revelation 15:1, signifies everything in an universal sense. The number 'seven' was considered holy, as is well known, because of the six days of creation, and the seventh, which is the celestial self, where peace, rest, and the Sabbath is. The number seven occurs so frequently in the rites of the Jewish church and is held holy everywhere.
So times were divided into seven, longer and shorter intervals, and were called weeks, like the great intervals of times till the coming of the Messiah, in Daniel 9:24-25. The time of seven years is called 'a week' by Laban and Jacob, as in Genesis 29:27-28. So wherever the number seven occurs, it is considered holy and sacred, as in Psalm 119:164, and in Isaiah 30:26.
As the periods of a person's regeneration are distinguished into six, prior to the seventh, or the celestial self, so the times of vastation are also distinguished, until nothing celestial is left. This was represented by the many captivities of the Jews, and by the last Babylonian captivity, which lasted seven decades, or seventy years. This was also represented by Nebuchadnezzar, in Daniel 4:16, 22, 29. It also refers to the vastation of the end times, in Revelation 15:1, 7-8. They should 'tread the holy city under foot, forty and two months, or six times seven,' as in Revelation 11:2 and Revelation 5:1. So the severity and increments of punishment were expressed by the number seven, as in Leviticus 26:18, 21, 24, 28 and Psalm 79:12.
