2164. Verse 5. And I will take a piece of bread, and support ye your heart; afterwards ye may pass on; for therefore have ye passed over unto your servant. And they said, So do as thou hast spoken. “I will take a piece of bread,” signifies something celestial adjoined; “support ye your heart,” signifies as much as is meet; “afterwards ye may pass on,” signifies that when He had left off perceiving He would be content therewith; “for therefore have ye passed over unto your servant,” signifies that they came for this purpose; “and they said, So do as thou hast spoken,” signifies that it should be so done.
