5030. Verses 19-20. And it came to pass when his lord heard the words of his wife, which she spoke unto him, saying, According to these words did thy servant to me; that his anger was kindled. And Joseph’s lord took him, and put him into the prison house, the place where the king’s bound ones were bound; and he was there in the prison house. “And it came to pass,” signifies a new state; “when his lord heard the words of his wife, which she spoke unto him,” signifies communication of falsity which appeared as truth; “saying, According to these words did thy servant to me,” signifies confirmation; “that his anger was kindled,” signifies aversion to spiritual truth. “And Joseph’s lord took him,” signifies temptation from the natural; “and put him into the prison house,” signifies as to false-speaking against good; “the place where the king’s bound ones were bound,” signifies the state in which those are who are in falsities; “and he was there in the prison house,” signifies the duration of the temptation.
