5243. Verse 14 And Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they hurried him out of the pit; and he clipped [his hair and beard], and changed his clothes, and came to Pharaoh.

'And Pharaoh sent' means the inclination of the new natural. 'And called Joseph' means to accept the celestial of the spiritual. 'And they hurried him out of the pit' means a hasty casting aside of such things as, belonging to a state of temptation, were a hindrance, and a consequent change that was made. 'And he clipped [his hair and beard]' means a casting aside and the change made so far as the coverings of the exterior natural were concerned. 'And changed his clothes' means the change made so far as the coverings of the interior natural were concerned, by the putting on of what was rightly suited to this. 'And came to 'Pharaoh' means a communication in this guise with the new natural.
