5974. It is much; Joseph my son is yet alive. That this signifies joy that the internal had not perished, is evident from the representation of Joseph, as being the internal celestial; and from the signification of “being alive,” as being not to have perished, nor to have been rejected (see above, n. 5967); that joy is denoted is manifest.
