7 Они отвјчали: онъ спрашивалъ насъ объ насъ и о родствј нашемъ, говоря: живъ ли у васъ отецъ? есть ли у васъ братъ? и мы разсказали ему по случаю сихъ вопросовъ. Могли ли мы знать, что онъ скажетъ: приведите брата вашего?

5653. 'And they spoke to him [at] the door of the house' means a consultation of these regarding the introduction. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking to him', to the man over Joseph's house, as a consultation of these - of these teachings of the Church; and from the meaning of 'the door of the house' as the introduction, dealt with in 2356, 2385, in this case the introduction of the natural or external man to the spiritual or internal man, which is the subject here. This being the meaning the original language does not say 'at the door of the house', only 'the door of the house'.
