12
And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations.
Genesis 9:12
Arcana Coelestia #993
993. Verse 3 Every creeping thing that is living will be food for you; as the edible plant I have given all this to you.
'Every creeping thing that is living' means all pleasures containing good, which is living. 'Will be food for you' means the accompanying delight which people were to enjoy. 'The edible plant' means very lowly manifestations of delights. Its being 'given all to you' means enjoyment on account of use.
