6220. 'That [someone] said to Joseph' means a pre-eminent discernment. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' as perception, dealt with in 1791, 1815, 1819, 1822, 1898, 1919, 2080, 2619, 2682, 3509, 5687. The reason a pre-eminent discernment is meant is that the subject in what follows is the Church's understanding and will, thus its truth and good, which come from an inflowing through the celestial internal, which is 'Joseph'.
