5588. 'We will go down and buy food for you' means that in this case the good of truth will be acquired. This is clear from the meaning of 'buying' as acquiring and making one's own; and from the meaning of 'food' as the good of truth, both of which meanings are dealt with above in 5582.
4397. 'And he bought the portion of the field' means making the good that springs from that truth its own. This is clear from the meaning of 'buying' as making one's own, and from the meaning of 'the portion of the field' as good springing from that truth. For 'the field' means the Church as regards good and so means good itself, see 2971, 3196, 3317, 3500, 3508, 3766.
