10107. 'And the bread which is in the basket' means making celestial good from the Lord their own. This is clear from the meaning of 'eating' - at this point, eating the bread - as making one's own, as immediately above in 10106; from the meaning of 'the bread' as the good of love and charity, dealt with in 2165, 2177, 3464, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4217, 4735, 4976, 5915, 6118, 9323, 9545; and from the meaning of 'the basket' as the level of the outward senses, dealt with in 9996. From these meanings it is evident that 'eating the bread which is in the basket' means making good from the Lord on outward levels their own. The bread in the basket consisted of unleavened loaves, unleavened cakes, and unleavened wafers, by which purified good is meant, both inward and outward kinds of it, 9992-9994. When therefore the words 'the bread in the basket' are used all those kinds of good present on the level of the outward senses are meant, that level being the last and lowest of a person's life, containing inward things all together within itself.
