Arcana Coelestia # 6259
6259. 'And [Joseph] made them draw near him' means presence. This is clear from the meaning of making 'draw near' as causing to be present.
Arcana Coelestia # 4753
4753. 'And let not our hand be upon him' means so that they may be blameless. This is clear from the meaning of 'let not a hand be laid upon someone' as so that no violence be done, as above in 4737; and because in doing no violence they may be blameless, this too is the meaning of the words used here.
