Spiritual food is the content that nourishes the inner self (mind, heart, will, and spirit [emotions]). It enters the inner self via the spiritual organs (eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and skin). Therefore whatever is put before the eyes, flows into the ears, inhaled through the nostrils, tasted with the tongue, and comes in contact with the skin is food. It teaches in one way or another and affects the inner self that is connected to the innermost eternal spirit that goes before the Lord after death to be judged.

Scripture refers to this as pouring out one’s heart (1 Sam. 1:15; Job 16:20; Ps. 62:8; 142:2; Lam. 2:19), and it is one of the ways emotions remain balanced to maintain godliness.

It hung from clasps and was decorated with cherubim and other designs made from blue, purple, and scarlet embroidered thread. In the human body, the inner curtain is represented by the diaphragm, and its embroidered design represents capillaries (small blood vessels).
