6562. 'Thus you are to say to Joseph' means perception from the internal about what was to be done. This is clear from 'saying' in the historical narratives of the Word as perception, dealt with in 1791, 1815, 1819, 1822, 1898, 1919, 2080, 2619, 2862, 3509, 5687, 5743; and from the representation of 'Joseph' as the internal, dealt with in 6177, 6124, 6560. Perception about what was to be done is meant by 'thus you are to say'.
