8450.出埃及记16:13-15.到了晚上，有鹌鹑上来，遮满了营。早晨，营周围有一层露水。那层露水上升之后，看哪，旷野的面上有一样小圆物，像地上的白霜一样小。以色列人看见，就彼此对问说，这是什么呢？因为他们不知道是什么摩西对他们说，这就是耶和华给你们吃的食物。
“到了晚上”表一个状态的结束。“有鹌鹑上来”表属世的快乐，良善通过这快乐被赋予。“遮满了营”表它充满人的属世层。“早晨”表一个新状态的开始。“营周围有一层露水”表依附于它自己的平安的真理。“那层露水上升之后”表真理的引入。“看哪，旷野的面上”表一个新的意愿。“有一样小圆物”表最初形式的真理之良善。“像地上的白霜一样小”表良善形式的真理—不间断并流动。“以色列人看见”表一种觉知。“就彼此对问说”表困惑。“这是什么呢？因为他们不知道是什么”表由于它不为人知。“摩西对他们说”表通过从神来的真理所给予的指示。“这就是耶和华给你们吃的食物”表这就是那必变成他们自己的，并构成他们生命的良善，在至高意义上表这就是在你们里面的主。

8450. Verses 1-15. And it was in the evening that the quail* came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a deposit of dew round about the camp. And the deposit of dew went up, and behold upon the faces of the wilderness a small round thing, small as the hoar frost upon the earth. And the sons of Israel saw, and they said a man to his brother, What is this [Man hoc]? for they knew not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which Jehovah hath given you to eat. "And it was in the evening," signifies the end of the state; "that the quail came up," signifies natural delight through which is good; "and covered the camp," signifies that it filled the natural of the man; "and in the morning," signifies the beginning of a new state; "there was a deposit of dew round about the camp," signifies the truth of peace adjoining itself; "and the deposit of dew went up," signifies the insinuation of truth; "and behold upon the faces of the wilderness," signifies a new will part; "a small round thing," signifies the good of truth in the first formation; "small as the hoar frost upon the earth," signifies truth in the form of good consistent and flowing; "and the sons of Israel saw," signifies a perception; "and they said a man to his brother," signifies amazement; "What is this? for they knew not what it was," signifies at what was not known; "and Moses said unto them," signifies information through truth from the Divine; "This is the bread which Jehovah hath given you to eat," signifies that this is the good which must be appropriated and make their life, in the supreme sense that this is the Lord in you. * Swedenborg retains the Hebrew word selav, untranslated.
