Genesis 41:47

Study

       

47 and the land maketh in the seven years of plenty by handfuls.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #5245

Studere hoc loco

5245. 'And called Joseph' means to accept the celestial of the spiritual. This is clear from the representation of 'Joseph' as the celestial of the spiritual, dealt with in 4286, 4585, 4592, 4594, 4963 - an indication to accept it being meant by the word 'called', see immediately above in 5244.
