At sila'y dumaing sa Panginoon at nagsabi, Kami ay nagkasala, sapagka't pinabayaan namin ang Panginoon at naglingkod kami sa mga Baal at sa mga Astaroth: nguni't ngayo'y palayain mo kami sa kamay ng aming mga kaaway, at kami ay maglilingkod sa iyo.
As the finest of the grains, wheat fittingly represents the finest of spiritual food, what Swedenborg calls "the good of love and charity" – which is the desire for good that springs from love of the Lord and love of serving others.
From a nutritional standpoint, wheat is packed with complex carbohydrates, a good source of lasting energy – and the desire for good from love of the Lord and love of the neighbor is a good source of lasting spiritual energy. Yet the carbohydrate-rich heart of each grain of wheat is covered by a hull rich with vitamins, protein and fiber, building blocks for the body – much as the desire for good is clothed in ideas of how to put good into action.
