5627. And arise, return unto the man. That this signifies life from spiritual truth, is evident from the signification of “arising,” as being elevation to things interior, consequently to spiritual things (see n. 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171, 4103, 4881); from the signification of “returning,” as being the consequent life (of which above, n. 5614); and from the representation of Joseph, when called “the man,” as being spiritual truth (n. 5584).
