우리가 어찌 우리의 전지와 함께 주의 목전에 죽으리이까 ? 우리 몸과 우리 토지를 식물로 사소서 우리가 토지와 함께 바로의 종이 되리니 우리에게 종자를 주시면 우리가 살고 죽지 아니하고 전지도 황폐치 아니하리이다'
창세기 47:19

This is clear from the meaning of 'corn' as truth that the Church possesses, dealt with in 5402; and from the meaning of 'buying' as making one's own, dealt with in 4797, 5374, 5397, 5406, 5410, 5426, and therefore being sustained. For spiritual food, meant by 'corn', is what is referred to here, and when this food is made a person's own it sustains his spiritual life.
