Genesis 47:22

22 Kun Præsternes Jord købte han ikke, thi de havde faste Indtægter fra Farao, og de levede af de Indtægter, Farao havde skænket dem; derfor behøvede de ikke at sælge deres Jord.

6092. 'And Pharaoh said to Jacob' means perception in the natural, where factual knowledge resides, regarding the Church's truth in general. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' as perception, dealt with above in 6063; from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as the natural, where factual knowledge resides, dealt with in 5799, 6015; and from the representation of 'Jacob' as the Church's truth in general, dealt with above in 6089.
