29
ιδετε ο γαρ κυριος εδωκεν υμιν την ημεραν ταυτην τα σαββατα δια τουτο αυτος εδωκεν υμιν τη ημερα τη εκτη αρτους δυο ημερων καθησεσθε εκαστος εις τους οικους υμων μηδεις εκπορευεσθω εκ του τοπου αυτου τη ημερα τη εβδομη
Exodus 16:29
Arcana Coelestia #8520
8520. 'And the house of Israel called its name Man' means its essential nature among them. This is clear from the meaning of 'name' and 'calling the name' as the essential nature of a thing, dealt with in 144, 145, 1896, 2009, 2724, 3006, 3421, 6674. The fact that it was called Man because they did not know what it was, and that it means the good of truth, which is the good of those belonging to the spiritual Church, see 8462, 8464.
