8
εἰ τὸ μὲν ἀργύριον ὃ εὕρομεν ἐν τοῖς μαρσίπποις ἡμῶν ἀπεστρέψαμεν πρὸς σὲ ἐκ γῆς χανααν πῶς ἂν κλέψαιμεν ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ κυρίου σου ἀργύριον ἢ χρυσίον
Genesis 44:8
Arcana Coelestia # 5752
5752. And he spake unto them these words. That this signifies the influx of this thing, is evident from the signification of “speaking,” as being influx (see n. 2951, 3037, 5481); and from the signification of “words,” as being things. A “thing” and a “word” are expressed in the original language by the same term.
Arcana Coelestia # 2951
2951. And he spoke unto Ephron. That this signifies influx with those who were able to receive, is evident from the signification of “speaking,” as being to think (n. 2271, 2287), and likewise to will (n. 2626), and thus to flow in, because influx is thereby effected; and from the representation of Ephron, as being those with whom the truth and the good of faith could be received (see n. 2933).
