9998. 'And the young bull and the two rams' means the natural or external level of a person, and the spiritual or internal level of him, which must be purified. This is clear from the meaning of 'the young bull' as the natural or external level of a person, which must be purified, dealt with above in 9990; and from the meaning of 'the rams' as the spiritual or internal level of a person, which must be purified, also dealt with above, in 9991.
