3568. And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s hunting. That this signifies a longing to conjoin with itself natural truth through good, is evident from the signification of “eating,” as being to conjoin and appropriate (n. 2187, 2343, 3168, 3513); and from the signification of “my son’s hunting,” as being the truth of good (n. 3309, 3501, 3508). That a longing is signified, is evident.
Numbers 18:9-11
9
This shall be yours of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: every offering of theirs, even every meal offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.
10
You shall eat of it like the most holy things. Every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy to you.
11
"This is yours, too: the wave offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the children of Israel. I have given them to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, as a portion forever. Everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.
