5692. Toward his brother. That this signifies toward the internal from itself, is evident from the representation of Benjamin, who is here the “brother,” as being the intermediate, thus also the internal (see n. 5649); and as both the intermediate and the internal proceed from the celestial of the spiritual, which is “Joseph,” it is therefore called the internal from itself. Whoever receives anything of the Divine from the Lord, who here is “Joseph” in the supreme sense, as he who receives any of the good of charity, is called by the Lord a “brother,” and also a “son.”
