2182. Verse 8 And he took butter and milk, and the young bull ¹ which he made ready, and set it before them. And he stood before them under the tree, and they ate.

'He took butter and milk, and the young bull which he made ready' means all those things thus joined together, 'butter' being the celestial part of the rational, 'milk' the spiritual deriving from this, 'young bull' the corresponding natural part. 'And set it before them' means that He so prepared Himself to receive. 'And he stood before them under the tree' means consequent perception, 'tree', as previously, being perception. 'And they ate' means communication in this manner.
