We tend to think of "fruit" in two ways in natural language. One is as food that grows on trees and vines, sweet and delicious, and able to be eaten without harming the plant in any way. Another is as the things we produce, what our work yields for the betterment of the world. These are obviously connected: we are like trees, producing things that "feed" the world in some way, just as the tree produces fruit that feeds us. It makes sense, then, that the idea of fruit in the Bible is bound closely to the idea of goodness. Fruits that are eaten represent the desire for good and the energy to do what is good; fruit that is produced is the actual good that we go into the world and do.

10493. 'And Moses said, Fill your hand today to Jehovah' means the transmission and the reception of Divine Truth in the heavens. This is clear from the meaning of 'filling the hand to Jehovah' as a representative sign of the Lord's Divine Power in the heavens which comes through Divine Truth emanating from His Divine Good, and the transmission and the reception of that Truth there, dealt with in 10076, at this point the transmission of Divine Truth to the heavens by means of representatives, which consisted in the external forms of worship among that nation after their internal had been closed.

Through the external forms of worship which were representative of heavenly realities, and which existed among that nation after their internal had been closed, there was by the Lord's Divine Power contact with heaven, see 4311, 4444, 6304, 8588, 8788, 8806.
