Arcana Coelestia # 6153
6153. 'Behold, I have bought you today, and your ground, for Pharaoh's house means that it had obtained those things for itself and had made them subject to the general whole within the natural, which was under the control of the internal. This is clear from the meaning of 'buying' as making one's own and acquiring, dealt with in 4797, 5374, 5397, 5406, 5410, 5426; and from the meaning of 'ground' as the receptacles of truth, dealt with in 6135-6137; and the subjection of those receptacles to the general whole in the natural is meant by 'his buying them for Pharaoh' who represents the natural in general, dealt with in 5160, 5799, 6015. The use of the expression 'under the control of the internal' is in keeping with the explanation above in 6145.

4668. 'These are the generations of Jacob' means the things that follow. This is clear from the meaning of 'generations' as derivatives of the things which constitute the Church - truth derived from good, or faith from love - for no other generations are meant in the internal sense of the Word. These are also the subject in what follows, and this is why it is said that 'the generations of Jacob' means the things which follow. That things like these are meant by 'generations' is also evident from the fact that in what follows no subsequent generations are recorded. Instead Joseph, his dreams, his brothers' designs against him are described, and lastly the carrying away of him into Egypt. As regards 'generations' meaning derivatives of the kinds of things mentioned above, see 1145, 1255, 1330, 3263, 3279, 3860, 3868, 4070.
