6150. 'And ate their fixed portion which Pharaoh had given them' means that they did not make any forms of good their own beyond what had been decreed. This is clear from the meaning of 'eating' as making one's own, dealt with in 3168, 3513 (end), 3596, 3872, 4745; and from the meaning of 'fixed portion' as that which has been decreed, as immediately above in 6149, so that 'eating a fixed portion' means not making any forms of good one's own beyond what has been decreed. This decree was made by the natural, represented by 'Pharaoh'. that is, in the natural under the control of the internal, see also immediately above in 6149.

3006. These are the things that angels perceive when the names Jesus Christ are used, and the things that are meant by its being said that in no other name is there salvation, and by what the Lord stated so many times concerning His name, as in John,

Whatever you ask in My name, I will do. John 14:13-14.

In the same gospel,

These things have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. John 20:31.

And elsewhere. 'His name' means everything in its entirety by which the Lord is worshipped, and so the essential nature of all worship and doctrine, see 2724. Here therefore the good of love and charity is meant when joined to the truth of faith, which constitutes the fabric of doctrine and worship in their entirety.
