5643. 'For the men will eat with me at midday' means that they will be joined together when accompanied by the intermediary. This is clear from the meaning of 'eating' as being communicated, being joined together, and being made one's own, dealt with in 2187, 2343, 3168, 3513 (end), 3596, 3832. And because they were accompanied by the spiritual intermediary represented by 'Benjamin', 5639, the expression 'at midday' is used; for 'midday' means a state of light, and so a spiritual state which the intermediary is instrumental in bringing about, 1458, 3708.
