676. Verse 21. And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food, for thee and for them. That he should “take to himself of all food that is eaten” signifies goods and delights; that he should “gather to himself” signifies truths; that it should be “for food for him and for them” signifies both.
