1 ἀπάρας δὲ ισραηλ αὐτὸς καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὅρκου καὶ ἔθυσεν θυσίαν τῷ θεῷ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ισαακ

2 εἶπεν δὲ ὁ θεὸς ισραηλ ἐν ὁράματι τῆς νυκτὸς εἴπας ιακωβ ιακωβ ὁ δὲ εἶπεν τί ἐστιν

3 λέγων ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων σου μὴ φοβοῦ καταβῆναι εἰς αἴγυπτον εἰς γὰρ ἔθνος μέγα ποιήσω σε ἐκεῖ

4 καὶ ἐγὼ καταβήσομαι μετὰ σοῦ εἰς αἴγυπτον καὶ ἐγὼ ἀναβιβάσω σε εἰς τέλος καὶ ιωσηφ ἐπιβαλεῖ τὰς χεῖρας ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου

5 ἀνέστη δὲ ιακωβ ἀπὸ τοῦ φρέατος τοῦ ὅρκου καὶ ἀνέλαβον οἱ υἱοὶ ισραηλ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν ἀποσκευὴν καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὰς ἁμάξας ἃς ἀπέστειλεν ιωσηφ ἆραι αὐτόν

6 καὶ ἀναλαβόντες τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῶν καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν κτῆσιν ἣν ἐκτήσαντο ἐν γῇ χανααν εἰσῆλθον εἰς αἴγυπτον ιακωβ καὶ πᾶν τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ μετ' αὐτοῦ

7 υἱοὶ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ μετ' αὐτοῦ θυγατέρες καὶ θυγατέρες τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶν τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ ἤγαγεν εἰς αἴγυπτον

28 τὸν δὲ ιουδαν ἀπέστειλεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ πρὸς ιωσηφ συναντῆσαι αὐτῷ καθ' ἡρώων πόλιν εἰς γῆν ραμεσση

29 ζεύξας δὲ ιωσηφ τὰ ἅρματα αὐτοῦ ἀνέβη εἰς συνάντησιν ισραηλ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ καθ' ἡρώων πόλιν καὶ ὀφθεὶς αὐτῷ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔκλαυσεν κλαυθμῷ πλείονι

30 καὶ εἶπεν ισραηλ πρὸς ιωσηφ ἀποθανοῦμαι ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν ἐπεὶ ἑώρακα τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἔτι γὰρ σὺ ζῇς

31 εἶπεν δὲ ιωσηφ πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ ἀναβὰς ἀπαγγελῶ τῷ φαραω καὶ ἐρῶ αὐτῷ οἱ ἀδελφοί μου καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός μου οἳ ἦσαν ἐν γῇ χανααν ἥκασιν πρός με

32 οἱ δὲ ἄνδρες εἰσὶν ποιμένες ἄνδρες γὰρ κτηνοτρόφοι ἦσαν καὶ τὰ κτήνη καὶ τοὺς βόας καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτῶν ἀγειόχασιν

33 ἐὰν οὖν καλέσῃ ὑμᾶς φαραω καὶ εἴπῃ ὑμῖν τί τὸ ἔργον ὑμῶν ἐστιν

34 ἐρεῖτε ἄνδρες κτηνοτρόφοι ἐσμὲν οἱ παῖδές σου ἐκ παιδὸς ἕως τοῦ νῦν καὶ ἡμεῖς καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἵνα κατοικήσητε ἐν γῇ γεσεμ ἀραβίᾳ βδέλυγμα γάρ ἐστιν αἰγυπτίοις πᾶς ποιμὴν προβάτων

6032. 'And was seen towards him' means perception. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing' as understanding and discerning, dealt with in 2150, 3764, 4567, 4723, 5400, and as having faith, 1315, 1807, 3863, 3869, 4403-4421, 5400. As regards the meaning of 'seeing' as understanding and therefore perceiving, and also as having faith, it should be recognized that a person has two components constituting his life - SPIRITUAL LIGHT and SPIRITUAL HEAT. Spiritual light constitutes the life of his understanding, and spiritual heat the life of his will. By virtue of its very own origin spiritual light is Divine Truth flowing from the Lord's Divine Good and is therefore the truth of faith flowing from the good of charity, while spiritual heat by virtue of its very own origin is the Divine Good of the Lord's Divine Love and is therefore the good of celestial love or love to the Lord and the good of spiritual love or love towards the neighbour. As has been stated, these two constitute the entire life in a person.

[2] As regards spiritual light, this is related to a person's understanding in the way that natural light is related to his external sight. That is to say, so that the eye can function, light must exist which enables it to do so. When it exists the eye beholds in that light everything all round outside itself. The same is true of the intellectual power of the mind, which is a person's inner eye. So that this eye can function the light of heaven flowing from the Lord must exist, enabling it to do so. And when this eye functions with the aid of that light it too beholds things all round outside itself. But the objects it sees are spiritual ones - facts and truths. When however it does not have the aid of that light, a person's intellectual power of the mind or inner eye is like his external or physical eye when this is in darkness and cannot see anything. That is, it does not from factual knowledge behold any truth, or from truth behold any good. The light which enables the intellectual power of the mind to function is light indeed, a kind of light which is a thousand times brighter than midday light in the world, as I can testify since I have beheld it. In that light all the angels in heaven see things all round outside themselves, and in that same light they also behold and perceive the truths of faith and the essential nature of them. This now explains why in the spiritual sense 'seeing' means not only the understanding but also any of its activities, such as cogitation, reflection, observation, circumspection, and many others, as well as meaning not only faith but also anything constituting faith, such as truth, teaching drawn from the Word, and the like.

[3] As regards spiritual heat however, this is related to a person's will in the way natural heat is related to his body, in that the one imparts life to the other. But by virtue of its very origin - an origin that can be traced back to the Lord - spiritual heat is nothing other than Divine Love towards the entire human race and the reciprocation of that love by man, to Him and also towards the neighbour. And that heat is heat indeed; it blesses angels' bodies with warmth and at the same time blesses their inmost beings with love. This is the reason why 'heat', 'flame', and 'fire', when used in the genuine sense in the Word, mean things connected with love, such as affections for goodness and truth, and also goodness itself.
