4962. THE INTERNAL SENSE
Verse 1 And Joseph was made to go down to Egypt, and Potiphar bought him - Pharaoh's bedchamber servant, the chief of the attendants, an Egyptian man - from the hand of the Ishmaelites who made him go down there.
'And Joseph' means the celestial of the spiritual from the rational. 'Was made to go down to Egypt' means to factual knowledge which the Church possessed. 'And Potiphar bought him - Pharaoh's bedchamber servant' means among facts of a more internal kind. 'The chief of the attendants' means which facts come first and foremost in explanations. 'An Egyptian man' means natural truth. 'From the hand of the Ishmaelites' means from simple good. 'Who made him go down there' means a descent from this simple good to that factual knowledge.
