Genesis 44:16

Studie

       

16 Judah said, "What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? Or how will we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord's bondservants, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found."

5771. 'And the cup was found in Benjamin's pouch' means that interior truth from the celestial existed with the intermediary. This is clear from the meaning of 'the cup' as interior truth, dealt with in 5736; and from the representation of 'Benjamin' as the intermediary, dealt with in 5411, 5413, 5443; and the existence with the intermediary of that truth from the celestial is meant by the cup's being placed, on Joseph's orders, in Benjamin's pouch.

What is implied by the matters referred to in this and the preceding paragraphs in this section is evident from what was stated previously.
