Heidegger

” … when she has come to the knowledge of the mysteries and the divine
judgements, when she has reached the gates of wisdom itself, of the “wisdom
that is not of this world, neither of the princes of this world who come to
nought”, but is the very wisdom of God … when I say the soul ascends to
the recognition of so great a mystery, she has cause to say: “the fragrance
of Thine ointments” - that is, the spiritual and mystical meaning - “is
above all spices” of moral and natural philosophy.” (109)

“The Levites symbolize … those who have surpassed all visible glory, and
in the Wisdom of God alone, his Word, have put their life and activity …
They have desired wisdom, the knowledge of the secrets of God; where your
heart is so will your treasure be. They do not have their heritage on the
earth … they find their delights in the Lord, in his Word, his Wisdom, in
the pleasures of his science.” (110)
