58. Verse 30 And to every wild animal of the earth and to every bird of the air, ¹ and to everything creeping over the earth in which there is a living soul [I give] every plant for food; and it was so.

The natural food of this same [spiritual man] is being described here. His natural level is here meant by 'wild animal of the earth' and by 'bird of the air, to which 'the edible and green plant ² has been given for food'. Both kinds of food, natural and spiritual, are referred to in David as follows,

Jehovah causes the grass to grow for the beast, and the plant for man's service, that he may bring forth bread from the earth. Psalms 104:14.

Here 'beast' stands for both wild animals of the earth and birds of the air, ¹ both being mentioned in verses 11-12 of that Psalm.

Fusnotat:

10656. 'Seven days you shall eat the unleavened bread' means a holy state then, and making Divine Truth, purified from evil and from the falsities of evil, one's own. This is clear from the meaning of 'seven days' as a holy state from start to finish (states are meant by 'days', see 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788, 3462, 3785, 4850, that which is holy by 'seven', 395, 433, 716, 881, 5265, 5268, and a holy state from start to finish by 'seven days', 728, 6508, 9228, 10127); from the meaning of 'eating' as making one's own, dealt with in 3168, 3513(end), 3596, 4745; and from the meaning of that which is 'unleavened' as Divine Truth purified from evil and from the falsities of evil, dealt with in 9992.
