8262. And they said, saying. That this signifies in this manner from influx, is evident from the signification of “saying,” when the subject treated of is the glorification of the Lord by a song, as being influx (that “to say” also denotes influx, see n. 5743, 6152, 6291, 7291, 7381, 8221).

6152. And Joseph said unto the people. That this signifies the influx of the internal into the truths of memory-knowledge, is evident from the signification of “saying,” as being perception (see n. 6063); and because it is predicated of the internal, which is “Joseph,” it denotes influx, for that which is perceived in the external flows in from the internal; and from the representation of Joseph, as being the internal (as may be seen frequently above); and from the signification of the “people,” as being the truths of memory-knowledge (n. 6146).
