6114. For the produce which they bought. That this signifies that thereby they were sustained, is evident from the signification of "produce," as being the truth of the church (n. 5402); and from the signification of "buying," as being to appropriate (see n. 4397, 5374, 5397, 5406, 5410, 5426). Thus the signification is, to be sustained, for the subject treated of is the spiritual food which is signified by "produce," which food when appropriated sustains the spiritual life.
