Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The refusal borrows the language of saving something intimate for marriage, then applies it to spit and blood. That unexpected substitution makes the polite opening absurd. Treating bodily substances as a carefully reserved gift turns a simple rejection into an elaborate, grotesque joke.
