ഉല്പത്തി 42:7
Arcana Coelestia # 5443
5443. 'And behold, the youngest is with our father today' means that they are also joined to spiritual good. This is clear from the representation of Benjamin, to whom 'the youngest' refers here, as the intermediary effecting a joining together, dealt with below; and from the representation of Jacob, who by now was Israel, to whom 'father' refers here, as spiritual good, dealt with in 3654, 4598. 'Benjamin' is the spiritual of the celestial, which is the intermediary, see 4592, 5411, 5413, 5419. That is to say, it is the intermediary that links the natural, or what is present in the natural, to the celestial of the spiritual, which is 'Joseph'. And since 'Benjamin' is the intermediary, while 'Israel' is spiritual good, the words 'behold, the youngest is with our father today' therefore mean a joining to spiritual good.
Arcana Coelestia # 3038
3038. 'To your seed I will give this land' means the Divine Truth which belonged to the Lord's Human. This is clear from the meaning of 'seed' as the faith that is an expression of charity, and also those in whom such faith is present, dealt with in 1025, 1447, 1610, 2848 (and since all good and truth of faith are received from the Lord, it is Divine Truth itself that is meant in the highest sense by 'seed'); and from the meaning of 'this land', namely Canaan, as heaven or the Lord's kingdom, dealt with in 1413, 1437, 1607. And as heaven or the Lord's kingdom is meant, it is the Lord's Divine Human itself that 'the land of Canaan' is used to mean in the highest sense. For the Divine itself cannot flow into heaven except through the Lord's Divine Human, which the Lord also made plain in Matthew,
All things have been delivered to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, nor does anyone know the Father except the Son and he to whom the Son wishes to reveal Him. Matthew 11:27.
And in John,
Nobody has ever seen God; the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, He has made Him known. John 1:18.
'The Son' is the Lord's Divine Human. Anyone who believes that in heaven they worship any other Father than the Lord is much mistaken.
