5776. Joseph’s house. That this signifies communication with the internal, is evident from the signification of “entering the house,” as being communication; and from the representation of Joseph, as being the internal (see n. 5469). That “entering a house” denotes communication, is because by a “house” is signified the man himself (see n. 3128, 5023), thus what makes the man, namely his mind with truth and good (n. 3538, 4973, 5023); and therefore when “entering a house” is spoken of, it means entering into his mind, thus to have communication.
