5410. To buy corn from Egypt. That this signifies to appropriate to themselves the good of truth by means of memory-knowledges, is evident from the signification of "buying," as being to appropriate (see n. 4397, 5374, 5406); from the signification of "corn," as being the good of truth (n. 5295); and from the signification of "Egypt," as being memory-knowledges (of which above, n. 5402).
