993. Verse 3. Every creeping thing that liveth shall be food for you; as the esculent herb have I given it all to you. “Every creeping thing that liveth” signifies all pleasures in which there is good which is living; “shall be food for you” signifies their delight, which they enjoy; “as the esculent herb” signifies what is vile of delights; “have I given it all to you” signifies enjoyment on account of use.
