9:35 *Note: “Ingredients” (yakumi) is metaphorically calling the path of salvation a condiment or spice. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 147 三五、註 やくみは、薬味で、救ける道を薬にたとえて仰せられたものである。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2010)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 38:45
The word “ingredients” is a translation of “yakumi,” which refers to the ingredients of a medicine. This recalls an earlier verse that said, “I began doctors and medicine for weeding and fertilizing.” The verses here are saying that God will certainly save us from any illness, however serious it is, and that God will, in fact, teach us what might be called a secret recipe for salvation, something that should be passed on from generation to generation. The Scripture goes on to say, “I shall now give you instructions for mixing the ingredients and want you to understand whatever I have to say.” It almost seems as if God were teaching us how to prepare a miracle remedy; in fact, this recipe turns out to be the heavenly dew or kanro (also referred to as jikimotsu, translated as the Food of Heaven”) – which, as we will see, can be called forth by the Service.
