20 Und er segnete sie an selbigem Tage und sprach: In dir wird Israel segnen und sprechen: Gott mache dich wie Ephraim und wie Manasse! und er setzte Ephraim vor Manasse.

6220. That one said unto Joseph. That this signifies an eminent perception, is evident from the signification of “saying,” as being perception (see n. 1791, 1815, 1819, 1822, 1898, 1919, 2080, 2619, 2862, 3509, 5687); that it is an eminent perception is because the subject treated of in what follows is the intellectual and the will of the church, thus its truth and good, and this from influx through the internal celestial, which is “Joseph.”
