2
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Genesis 1:2
Meat
'Meat,' as in Genesis 40:17, signifies celestial good, because 'the meat of the angels' are nothing but the goods of love and charity, which not only enliven them, but also re-create them.

Fowl
Fowl signify spiritual truth; a bird, natural truth; and a winged thing, sensual truth. Fowl of heaven, as in Hosea 2:18, signify the affections of truth; and reptiles of the earth, the affection of the knowledges of truth and good. Fowl signify thoughts, and all that creeps on the ground, the sensual principle. Fowl signify intellectual things.
