Genesis 44:20

Study

       

20 and we say unto my lord, We have a father, an aged one, and a child of old age, a little one; and his brother died, and he is left alone of his mother, and his father hath loved him.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #5745

Studere hoc loco

5745. 'And overtake them' means an indirect link with them. This is clear from the meaning of 'overtaking them', that is to say, by the one who was over Joseph's house, as an indirect linking.
