5481. 'And he came back to them and spoke to them' means an influx. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming back to them and speaking to them', after he had turned away from them, as an influx; for the celestial of the spiritual or truth from the Divine, which is represented by 'Joseph', flows into the truths present in the natural. This is expressed in the sense of the letter by 'his coming back to them and speaking to them'. 'Speaking' also means flowing in, see 2951.
