Study

       

15 And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken away my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.

Commentary

 

Remainder

  

In Leviticus 6:16, 'Aaron and his sons eating the remainder' signifies a person's reciprocation and making something one's own. This represents conjunction by means of love and charity. This is why they were commanded to eat it 'in a holy place.'
