Arcana Coelestia # 4193
4193. 'And they ate there upon the heap' means making their; own that which came from Divine good. This is clear from the meaning of 'eating' as communication, a joining together, and a making one's own, dealt with in 2187, 2343, 3168, 3513 (end), 3596, 3832, and from the meaning of 'a heap' as good, dealt with immediately above in 4192, in this case Divine good.
