6070. 'And from his brothers' party he took five men' means some of the truths of the Church. This is clear from the representation of Jacob's sons, to whom 'brothers' refers here, as the truths of the Church, dealt with in 5403, 5419, 5427, 5458, 5512; and from the meaning of 'five' as some, dealt with in 4638, 5291.

5419. 'And Joseph's brothers came' means the general truths known to the Church which were without any intermediary. This is clear from the meaning of 'Joseph's brothers' as general truths known to the Church, dealt with above in 5409. They lacked any intermediary because Benjamin who was the intermediary was not with them. As regards 'Benjamin' being that intermediary, see above in 5411, 5413.
