6902. 'And you are to say to him' means influx. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' as influx, dealt with in 5743, 6152, 6291. The reason why 'saying' here is influx is that the communication dealt with in 6901 - the communication of such truths as belong to the law from God, and to intelligence acquired from that source - is effected by means of influx.

5743. 'And Joseph said to the one who was over his house' means perception and influx received anew. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying', in the historical narratives of the Word, as perceiving, dealt with often. And since it is perception on the part of the one who hears and receives, it is influx on the part of the one who speaks; for the two activities answer to each other. 'He commanded the one who was over his house' means an influx from itself, see above in 5732.
