1165. In the Word 'Mizraim' or Egypt means knowledge, that is, various facts, by which people wish to probe into the arcana of faith and so confirm the false assumptions acquired in that way. 'Mizraim' also means simply knowledge, and so knowledge that is useful. This is clear not only from the places just quoted but also from very many others which would fill up page after page if they were all included. See Isaiah 19:1-end; Isaiah 30:1-3; 31:1-3; Jeremiah 2:18, 36; Jeremiah 42:14-end; Jeremiah 46:1-end; Ezekiel 16:26; 23:3; Ezekiel 29:1-end; Ezekiel 30:1-end; Hosea 7:11; 9:3, 6; 11:1, 5, 11; Micah 7:12 [NCBS: 7:15]; Zechariah 10:10-11; Psalms 80:8 and following verses.

6553. 'And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers' means the life of the internal celestial, and of the truths of faith present within factual knowledge. This is clear from the meaning of 'returning' as living, dealt with in 5614, 6518; from the representation of 'Joseph' as the internal celestial, dealt with in 5869, 5877, 6177; from the representation of the sons of Israel, to whom 'his brothers' refers here, as the truths of faith in their entirety, dealt with in 5414, 5879, 5951; and from the meaning of 'Egypt' as factual knowledge, dealt with in 1164, 1165, 1186, 1462, 4749, 4964, 4966. The life of the internal celestial, and of the truths of faith present within factual knowledge, was the subject in the chapters which describe Joseph's becoming lord of the land of Egypt and the one in charge of Pharaoh's house, and after that the journey of Jacob's sons to Joseph, and their arrival together with their father Jacob in Egypt, events that are dealt with in 6004, 6023, 6052, 6071, 6077.
