8003. 'It shall be eaten in one house' means compatible forms of good grouped together to compose a single body of good. This is clear from the considerations that the Passover supper represented groups of angels living in association with one another in heaven, and that each household of the children of Israel represented an individual community, see 7836, 7891, 7996, 7997. Angelic communities are all distinct from one another, separated according to varieties of good at general, specific, and individual levels, 3241, 4625. Those governed by a like good live in association with one another. The reason why they compose a single body of good is that every complete whole is a product not of one but of a number of constituent parts. For a number of parts that are varying but nevertheless compatible produce a form which constitutes a single whole because of the harmony among the parts. That harmony in heaven is a spiritual harmony, which forms of the good of love possess, see 3241, 3167, 3744-3746, 3986, 4005, 4149, 5598, 7236, 7837, 7836. From these considerations it is evident that 'it shall be eaten in one house' means associations of forms of good so suited to one another that together they compose a single body of good. As regards 'eating' - eating the Passover - that it means being integrated among or being together with them, see above in 8001.

Luke 14:12-14

Studie

      

12 He also said to the one who had invited him, "When you make a dinner or a supper, don't call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.

13 But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;

14 and you will be blessed, because they don't have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous."
