1 Quando alguém fizer ao Senhor uma oferta de cereais, a sua oferta será de flor de farinha; deitará nela azeite, e sobre ela porá incenso;

2 e a trará aos filhos de Arão, os sacerdotes, um dos quais lhe tomará um punhado da flor de farinha e do azeite com todo o incenso, e o queimará sobre o altar por oferta memorial, oferta queimada, de cheiro suave ao Senhor.

3 O que restar da oferta de cereais pertencerá a Arão e a seus filhos; é coisa santíssima entre as ofertas queimadas ao Senhor.

4 Quando fizerdes oferta de cereais assada ao forno, será de bolos ázimos de flor de farinha, amassados com azeite, e coscorões ázimos untados com azeite.

5 E se a tua oferta for oferta de cereais assada na assadeira, será de flor de farinha sem fermento, amassada com azeite.

6 Em pedaços a partirás, e sobre ela deitarás azeite; é oferta de cereais.

7 E se a tua oferta for oferta de cereais cozida na frigideira, far-se-á de flor de farinha com azeite.

8 Então trarás ao Senhor a oferta de cereais que for feita destas coisas; e será apresentada ao sacerdote, o qual a levará ao altar.

9 E o sacerdote tomará da oferta de cereais o memorial dela, e o queimará sobre o altar; é oferta queimada, de cheiro suave ao Senhor.

10 E o que restar da oferta de cereais pertencerá a Arão e a seus filhos; é coisa santíssima entre as ofertas queimadas ao Senhor.

11 Nenhuma oferta de cereais, que fizerdes ao Senhor, será preparada com fermento; porque não queimareis fermento algum nem mel algum como oferta queimada ao Senhor.

12 Como oferta de primícias oferecê-los-eis ao Senhor; mas sobre o altar não subirão por cheiro suave.

13 Todas as suas ofertas de cereais temperarás com sal; não deixarás faltar a elas o sal do pacto do teu Deus; em todas as tuas ofertas oferecerás sal.

14 Se fizeres ao Senhor oferta de cereais de primícias, oferecerás, como oferta de cereais das tuas primícias, espigas tostadas ao fogo, isto é, o grão trilhado de espigas verdes.

15 Sobre ela deitarás azeite, e lhe porás por cima incenso; é oferta de cereais.

16 O sacerdote queimará o memorial dela, isto é, parte do grão trilhado e parte do azeite com todo o incenso; é oferta queimada ao Senhor.

468. And his feet like pillars of fire. This symbolizes the Lord's Divinity on the natural plane in respect to His Divine love, which sustains all things.

This, too, is apparent, from the explanation in no. 49 above, where it is said of the Son of Man that "His feet were like fine brass, as though fired in a furnace."

The angel's feet looked like pillars of fire because the Lord's Divinity on the natural plane - which fundamentally is the Divine humanity that He took on in the world - supports His Divinity from eternity, as the body does the soul, and likewise as the Word's natural meaning supports its spiritual and celestial meanings, on which subject see The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Sacred Scripture, nos. 27-49. To be shown that feet symbolize something natural, see no. 49, and a pillar something that supports, no. 191.

Fire symbolizes love because spiritual fire is nothing else. Therefore it is customary in worship to pray that heavenly fire, that is to say, heavenly love, may kindle the worshipers' hearts. People know that there is a correspondence between fire and love from the fact that a person grows warm with love, and cold with its loss. Nothing else produces vital warmth but love, in both senses. The origin of these correspondences is owing to the existence of two suns, one in the heavens, which is pure love, and the other in the world, which is nothing but fire. This, too, is the reason for the correspondence between all spiritual and natural things.

[2] Since fire symbolizes Divine love, therefore on Mount Horeb Jehovah appeared to Moses in a bush on fire (Exodus 3:1-3). Moreover He descended upon Mount Sinai in fire (Deuteronomy 4:36). For this reason, too, the seven lamps of the lampstand in the Tabernacle were lit every evening, so as to burn before Jehovah (Leviticus 24:2-4). For the same reason fire burned continually on the altar and was not extinguished (Leviticus 6:13), and the priests took fire from the altar in their censers and burned incense (Leviticus 16:12-13).

Therefore Jehovah went before the children of Israel by night in a pillar of fire (Exodus 13:21-22). Fire from heaven consumed the burnt offerings on the altar, as a sign of His being well pleased (Leviticus 9:24, 1 Kings 18:38). The burnt offerings were called offerings by fire to Jehovah, and offerings by fire for a restful aroma to Jehovah (Exodus 29:18; Leviticus 1:9, 13, 17; 2:2, 9-11; 3:5, 16; 4:35; 5:12; 7:30; 21:6; Numbers 28:2; Deuteronomy 18:1).

Therefore in the book of Revelation the Lord's eyes looked like a flame of fire (Revelation 1:14; 2:18; 19:12, cf. Daniel 10:5-6). And seven lamps of fire burned before the throne (Revelation 4:5).

It is apparent from this what lamps containing oil and lamps without oil symbolize (Matthew 25:1-11). The oil means fire, and thus love.

And so on in many other places.

In an opposite sense fire symbolizes hellish love, and this is plain from so many passages in the Word that it would be impossible to cite them all because of their number. See something on the subject in the book Heaven and Hell, published in London, nos. 566-575.
