Arcana Coelestia #6064
6064. 'My father and my brothers' means spiritual good within the natural and the truths of the Church there. This is clear from the representation of Israel, to whom 'father' refers here, as spiritual good within the natural, as in 5801, 5803, 5806, 5812 from the representation of 'the sons of Israel' as the truths of the Church within the natural, dealt with in 5414, 5879, 5951. The influx and perception spoken of immediately above in 6063 have regard to these - to spiritual good and to the truths of the Church within the natural.
Genesis 50:24-26
24
Joseph said to his brothers, "I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."
25
Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, "God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here."
26
So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
