제사장의 전지는 사지 아니하였으니 제사장은 바로에게서 녹을 받음이라 바로의 주는 녹을 먹으므로 그 전지를 팔지 않음이었더라
6114. 'For the corn which they were buying' means that they were to be sustained by this. 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.
