5418. 'He was selling to all the people of the land' means that this was what effected every making over. This is clear from the meaning of 'selling' as making over to another as his own, dealt with in 5371, 5374; and from the meaning of 'the people of the land' as truths known to the Church, dealt with in 2928, in this case truths in the natural, 5409.

5375. 'To Joseph' means where the celestial of the spiritual was. This is clear from the representation of 'Joseph' as the celestial of the spiritual, often dealt with already. The celestial of the spiritual is the good of truth from the Divine.
