5868. THE INTERNAL SENSE

Verses 1-2 And Joseph could not contain himself before all those standing with him; and he cried out, Make every man go out from me. And no one stood with him while Joseph made himself known to his brothers. And he gave forth his voice in weeping; and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.

'And Joseph could not contain himself before all those standing with him' means that now everything had been prepared by the internal celestial for the joining together. 'And he cried out' means near to effect. 'Make every man go out from me' means that incompatible and contradictory factual knowledge was to be cast away from the centre. 'And no one stood with him while Joseph made himself known to his brothers means that no such factual knowledge was present when the internal celestial joined itself through the intermediary to the truths in the natural. 'And he gave forth his voice in weeping' means mercy and joy. 'And the Egyptians heard' means right through to last and lowest [mental images]. 'And the house of Pharaoh heard' means throughout the whole natural.
