14
Ας περαση, παρακαλω, ο κυριος μου εμπροσθεν του δουλου αυτου· και εγω θελω ακολουθει βραδεως, κατα το βαδισμα των κτηνων των εμπροσθεν μου, και κατα το βαδισμα των παιδαριων, εωσου φθασω προς τον κυριον μου εις Σηειρ.
Γένεση 33:14
Arcana Coelestia # 4362
4362. 'And after that Joseph came near, then Rachel, and they bowed down' means affections for the truth of faith so far as interior things are concerned, and their submissive introduction. This is clear from the representation of 'Joseph' as the celestial-spiritual, dealt with in 4286; from the representation of 'Rachel' as the affection for interior truth, dealt with in 3758, 3782, 3793, 3819; and from the meaning of 'bowing down' as submissive introduction, as immediately above in 4361. The implications of all this have been explained above at verse 2.
