5073. The Internal Sense.

Verses 1-4. And it came to pass after these words that they sinned, the butler of the king of Egypt and the baker, to their lord the king of Egypt. And Pharaoh was wroth over his two court ministers, over the prince of the butlers, and over the prince of the bakers. And he put them into the custody of the house of the prince of the guards, unto the prison house, the place where Joseph was bound. And the prince of the guards set Joseph over them, and he ministered to them; and they were for days in custody. “And it came to pass,” signifies a new state, and the things which follow; “after these words,” signifies after the things which precede; “that they sinned,” signifies inverted order; “the butler of the king of Egypt,” signifies in those things in the body which are subject to the intellectual part; “and the baker,” signifies in those things in the body which are subject to the will part; “to their lord the king of Egypt,” signifies that they were contrary to the new state of the natural man; “and Pharaoh was wroth,” signifies that the new natural man averted itself; “over his two court ministers” signifies from the sensuous things of the body of both kinds; “over the prince of the butlers, and over the prince of the bakers,” signifies in general from the sensuous things subordinate to the intellectual part and to the will part; “and he put them into the custody,” signifies rejection; “of the house of the prince of the guards,” signifies by those things which are primary for interpretation; “unto the prison house,” signifies among falsities; “the place where Joseph was bound,” signifies the state of the celestial of the natural now as to these things; “and the prince of the guards set Joseph over them,” signifies that the celestial of the natural taught them from things primary for interpretation; “and he ministered to them,” signifies that he instructed them; “and they were for days in custody,” signifies that they were long in a state of rejection.
