5731. THE INTERNAL SENSE

Verses 1-2 And he commanded the one who was over his house, saying, Fill the men's pouches with food, as much as they can carry; and put each one's silver in the mouth of his pouch. And you are to put my cup, the cup made of silver, in the mouth of the pouch of the youngest, and his silver for grain; and he did according to Joseph's word which he spoke.

'And he commanded the one who was over his house, saying' means an influx from itself. 'Fill the men's pouches with food' means into the natural, bringing the good of truth. 'As much as they can carry' means to the point of sufficiency. 'And put each one's silver in the mouth of his pouch' means bringing in addition truth received anew in the exterior natural. 'And you are to put my cup, the cup made of silver, in the mouth of the pouch of the youngest' means interior truth granted to the intermediary. 'And his silver for grain' means the truth of good. 'And he did according to Joseph's word which he spoke' means that it was done as commanded.
