Bring

  
The Offering, by François-Alfred Delobbe

To bring, in Genesis 37:28, signifies consultation.

As with common verbs in general, the meaning of “bring” is highly dependent on context, but in general it represents an introduction to a new spiritual state or to new ideas.

5641. 'Bring the men to the house' means that the truths in the natural were to be introduced into it. This is clear from the meaning of 'the sons of Jacob' as the truths known to the Church that were present in the natural, dealt with in 5403, 5419, 5427, 5428, 5512 - their introduction into the external Church being meant by 'bring them to the house'.
