6523. 'And there went up with him all Pharaoh's servants' means that it had attached to itself the factual knowledge belonging to the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'going up with him' as attaching to itself, for since it was by command that they went up, he attached them to himself; and from the meaning of 'Pharaoh's servants' as factual knowledge belonging to the natural. For 'Pharaoh' represents the natural as a general whole, 5160, 5799, 6015 (end); and since within the natural factual knowledge is present, that knowledge is what is meant by 'his servants' as well as by 'the Egyptians', 1164, 1165, 1186, 1462, 4749, 4964, 4966, 5700, 5702, 6004.

5799. 'For as you are, so is Pharaoh' means that he has control over the natural. This is clear from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as the natural in general, dealt with in 5160; and from the representation of 'Joseph' as the internal, dealt with previously. The control exercised by the internal over the natural is represented by Joseph's being placed in charge over all the land of Egypt as well as over the whole of Pharaoh's house, Genesis 41:40-41.
