Genesis 44:28
Arcana Coelestia # 5844
5844. 'For how am I to go up to my father, and the boy is not with me?' means that spiritual good from the natural would be without interior truth. This is clear from the representation of Israel, to whom 'father' refers here, as spiritual good from the natural, dealt with previously; and from the representation of Benjamin, to whom 'the boy' refers here, as interior truth, dealt with immediately above in 5843.
