5842. 'And now, I beg you, let your servant stay instead of the boy, a slave to my lord' means submission. This is clear from the fact that offering oneself as a slave instead of another is giving up all freedom of one's own and submitting oneself completely to another. The words used here mean the submission of the natural or external man under the internal; for when the good in the external man submits, even the truths there do so since truths go with good.
