10136. And a tenth of fine flour mingled with beaten oil, a fourth of a hin. That this signifies spiritual good from celestial as much as is sufficient for conjunction, is evident from the signification of "a tenth of an ephah," as being as much as is sufficient, and sufficient for uses (see n. 8468, 8540, 9757); from the signification of "fine flour," as being truth from good (n. 9995), here truth from celestial good, which truth is called spiritual good; from the signification of "oil," as being celestial good (n. 886, 3728, 4582, 4638, 9474, 9780); and from the signification of "a fourth of a hin" as being sufficient for conjunction; for by "four" is signified conjunction (n. 9601, 9674), hence "a fourth," or fourth part, denotes as much as is sufficient for conjunction. The ephah and hin were measures, and by "measure" is signified the quantity of the thing that is being treated of; by an "ephah," which was a measure of fine flour, wheat, and barley, the quantity of good; and by a "hin," which was a measure of wine and oil, the quantity of truth. (That the tenth of an ephah is what is meant, is evident from Leviticus 6:20, and other passages.) From this it is evident that by "a tenth of fine flour mingled with beaten oil, a fourth of a hin," is signified spiritual good from celestial as much as is sufficient for conjunction. (What the spiritual and what the celestial are, see the places cited in n. 9277.)
