10650. 'And they call you and you eat of their sacrifice' means being enticed by and accepting falsity arising from evil, and making it one's own. This is clear from the meaning of 'calling' as enticing and being accepted, for one who follows and obeys a call is enticed and accepts; from the meaning of 'eating' as making one's own, dealt with in 3168, 3596, 4745; and from the meaning of 'sacrifice' as worship springing from falsities, dealt with immediately above in 10649, thus also the falsities present in worship. The reason why they are falsities of evil is that all falsity that is indeed falsity arises from evil, see above in 10648.

3168. 'And they ate and drank' means making one's own the good and truth introduced in this way. This is clear from the meaning of 'eating' as being communicated and joined together, thus being made one's own, dealt with in 2187, 2343, and more specifically (since 'eating' has reference to bread and 'bread' means good, 276, 680, 2165, 2177, 2187) making good one's own; and from the meaning of 'drinking' as being communicated and joined together, thus being made one's own, dealt with in 3089, and more specifically (since 'drinking' has reference to wine and 'wine' means truth, 1071, 1798) making truth one's own. The situation is as stated above in 3167, namely that when truth is introduced into good in the rational, more so when it is joined to it, the good and truth of the spiritual man, that is, spiritual things, become made over to the natural as its own.
