11 Und Israel, ihr Vater, sprach zu ihnen: Wenn es denn also ist, so tut dieses: Nehmet von dem Besten (And. üb.: dem Ertrag) des Landes in eure Gefäße und bringet dem Manne ein Geschenk hinab: ein wenig Balsam und ein wenig Traubenhonig, Tragant und Ladanum, Pistazien und Mandeln.

5668. And gave waters. That this signifies a general influx of truth from the internal, is evident from the signification of “waters,” as being truth (see n. 2702, 3058, 3424, 4976), and indeed truth in general. Hence “giving waters” signifies a general influx of truth. That it is from the internal, is because it was in Joseph’s house (n. 5667). A general influx of truth is the enlightenment which gives the capacity of apprehending and understanding truth. This enlightenment is from the light of heaven that is from the Lord, which light is nothing else than the Divine truth (see n. 2776, 3138, 3167, 3195, 3223, 3339, 3485, 3636, 3643, 3993, 4302, 4413, 4415, 5400).
