From the lambs and the goats
But the wheat ones are five, as also the senses, which the rational do not starve, but they possess them always fed with the rational bread, as it is written: "They shall not hunger nor thirst, nor shall their eyes grow drowsy," (Isaiah 49:10) and what follows (Revelation 7:16) (Isaiah 5:27).
