6137. 'Buy us and our ground for bread' means that it should make both its own so that they may be sustained with good. This is clear from the meaning of 'buying' as making one's own, 4397, 5374, 5397, 5406, 5410, 5426; from the meaning of 'us and our ground' as the receptacles of goodness and truth, as above in 6135, 6136, thus both these, and from the meaning of 'for bread' as sustainment by good. The reason 'bread' is the good both of love and of faith is that the word 'bread' is also used to mean all food in general, 6118.
