1 And the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the east gate of the house of the Lord, which looketh towards the rising of the sun: and behold in the entry of the gate five and twenty men: and I saw in the midst of them Jezonias the son of Azur, and Pheltias the son of Banaias, princes of the people.

5921. 'That with my mouth I am speaking to you' means a revelation. This is clear from the consideration that the first thing attesting to it was the fact that they saw with their own eyes, the second that Benjamin saw with his eyes, and now the third that with his own mouth he was speaking to them. By the use of such evidence he removed all doubt that he was Joseph; he had therefore fully revealed who he was, which is why the words under explanation here imply a revelation.
