16 And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.

5809. 'Cause him to come down to me means that this truth which is new must be made subject to internal good. This is clear from the meaning of 'causing to come down' as being made subject, for coming to the internal to be joined to it is being made subject to it since everything lower or exterior must be set beneath and made subject to what is higher or interior if a joining together is to be effected; from the representation of Benjamin, who is the one they were to cause to come down, as new truth, dealt with above in 5804, 5806; and from the representation of Joseph, who is the one he was to come down to, as internal good, dealt with previously.
