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.
Psalms 126
1
When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.
2
Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, "Yahweh has done great things for them."
3
Yahweh has done great things for us, and we are glad.
4
Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh, like the streams in the Negev.
5
Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
6
He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves. A Song of Ascents. By Solomon.
