AC 4581 [4]
Sacrifices were made from the herd or from the flock, and were representative of the internal worship of the Lord. To these were added the meat-offering and the drink-offering. The meat-offering, which consisted of fine flower mingled with oil, signified celestial good, or what is the same, the good of love, "oil" signifying love to the Lord, and "fine flour" charity toward the neighbor. But the drink-offering, which consisted of wine, signified spiritual good, or what is the same, the good of faith. Both together therefore (namely, the meat-offering and the drink-offering) signified the same things as the bread and wine in the Holy Supper.

In typing this today, I made two errors - 'from the herd' was 'from the heard'....
and 'meat-offering' became 'meant-offering'.
Ironic!
