荒年未到以前,安城的祭司波提非拉的女兒亞西納給約瑟生了兩個兒子。
5216. Sprung up after them. That this signifies appearing near, is evident from the signification here of “springing up,” as being to appear; and from the signification of “after them,” as being near, or in the boundary, just as is signified by the evil and lean kine coming up “after them,” that is, after the beautiful and fat kine (see n. 5202). That “after them” means near, is because “after” denotes what is successive in time; and in the spiritual world, and consequently in the spiritual sense, there is no notion of time, but instead of it the kind of state that corresponds.
