5788. 'Even he in whose hand the cup was found' means, and also [the one with whom] interior truth from the Divine celestial exists. This is clear from the meaning of 'in whose hand' as the one with whom; from the meaning of 'the cup' as interior truth, dealt with in 5736; and from the representation of 'Joseph' as the Divine celestial.

The Lord is called "Jehovah" in the Bible when the text is referring to his essence, which is love itself. He is called "God" when the text is referring to the expression of that love -- which is called Divine Truth. References to other gods, both positive and negative, reflect that meaning. In positive cases -- such as when angels and people are called gods, or when the Lord is referred to as the God of gods -- those gods represent true ideas that come to us from the Lord. In negative cases -- such as when the people of Israel repeatedly adopt the gods of their neighbors -- those gods represent false and twisted thinking that attacks what is good and true.
