To bring, in Genesis 37:28, signifies consultation.

As with common verbs in general, the meaning of “bring” is highly dependent on context, but in general it represents an introduction to a new spiritual state or to new ideas.

416. Verse 1. And after these things I saw, signifies a new perception as to the state of heaven before the Last Judgment. This is evident from what follows in this chapter, which treats of the separation of the good from the evil; for before the Last Judgment occurs the good are separated from the evil by the Lord, and are led away; and because this is involved in the things that were seen, so all this is here signified by "after these things I saw."
