Job 17:14
14
I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou are my mother, and my sister.
Arcana Coelestia # 5419
5419. 'And Joseph's brothers came' means the general truths known to the Church which were without any intermediary. This is clear from the meaning of 'Joseph's brothers' as general truths known to the Church, dealt with above in 5409. They lacked any intermediary because Benjamin who was the intermediary was not with them. As regards 'Benjamin' being that intermediary, see above in 5411, 5413.
