8
οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτῷ ἐνύπνιον εἴδομεν καὶ ὁ συγκρίνων οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτό εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς ιωσηφ οὐχὶ διὰ τοῦ θεοῦ ἡ διασάφησις αὐτῶν ἐστιν διηγήσασθε οὖν μοι
Genesis 40:8
Arcana Coelestia #5074
5074. 'And so it was' means a new state and the things that follow. This is clear from the fact that in the Word 'so it was' or 'it happened' implies a new state, see 4979, 4999. Furthermore in the original language this expression serves to mark off series of prior events from subsequent ones, 4987. This is why 'and so it was' means the things that follow.
