5788. 'Even he in whose hand the cup was found' means, and also [the one with whom] interior truth from the Divine celestial exists. This is clear from the meaning of 'in whose hand' as the one with whom; from the meaning of 'the cup' as interior truth, dealt with in 5736; and from the representation of 'Joseph' as the Divine celestial.
