Και ο μεν Ιωσηφ εγνωρισε τους αδελφους αυτου· εκεινοι ομως δεν εγνωρισαν αυτον.
5473. 'Did I not say to you, saying' means the degree of perception from there. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' in the historical narratives of the Word as perception, dealt with in 1791, 1815, 1819, 1822, 1898, 1919, 2080, 2619, 3509. And since the verb 'say' is used twice here, as well as immediately before this, it is the degree of perception that is meant.
1819. 'He said, O Lord Jehovih' means a conversing, so to speak, of the Interior Man with the Internal Man. This is clear from what was stated in the previous verse at the words 'Jehovah said to him', and also from what was stated in verse 2 of this chapter about the Lord Jehovih, as meaning a conversing of the Interior Man with the Internal Man, or Jehovah, especially when He was undergoing temptation.
