5318. 'And put it onto Joseph's hand' means that it yielded all that power to the celestial of the spiritual. This is clear from the meaning of 'putting a ring onto another's hand' as a confirmation that one yields to another the power belonging to oneself, 5317; and from the representation of 'Joseph' as the celestial of the spiritual, often dealt with already.
