6 And Jacob and his sons came to Joseph in Egypt, and when word of it came to the ears of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, he said to Joseph, Your father and brothers have come to you; all the land of Egypt is before you; let your father and your brothers have the best of the land for their resting-place.

6163. 'And we will be Pharaoh's slaves' means that they should renounce their own and become submissive to the natural, which is under the control of the internal. This is clear from the meaning of 'slaves' as being without any freedom of their own, dealt with in 5760, 5767, thus a renunciation of what is properly their own; and from the meaning of 'being Pharaoh's' as becoming submissive to the natural which is under the control of the internal, dealt with in 6145.
