6072. 'And Pharaoh said to his brothers' means perception regarding the truths of the Church within the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' as perception, dealt with above in 6063; from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as the natural, and factual knowledge in general, also dealt with above in 6063; and from the representation of the sons of Jacob, to whom 'brothers' refers here, as the truths of the Church within the natural, dealt with above in 6064. From all this it is evident that 'Pharaoh said to his brothers' means the perception of the natural regarding the truths of the Church there.
