23
At nangyari pagkaraan ng maraming araw na ang hari sa Egipto ay namatay; at ang mga anak ni Israel ay nagbuntong hininga dahil sa pagkaalipin, at sila'y dumaing at ang kanilang daing ay umabot sa Dios dahil sa pagkaalipin.
Exodo 2:23
Arcana Coelestia #6791
6791. 'And let him eat bread' means being made stronger in good. This is clear from the meaning of 'bread' as the good of love, dealt with in 2165, 2177, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735. The reason why eating bread' is being made stronger in good is that 'eating' is used here to mean a banquet which in the Word is called a feast. Banquets or feasts were held among the ancients within the Church for the sake of joining people together and making them stronger in good, see 3596, 3832, 5161.
