5941. 'And take your father and your households, and come to me' means the drawing of spiritual good and of the truths of the Church nearer to factual knowledge in the natural. This is clear from the representation of Israel, to whom 'father' refers here, as spiritual good, as in 5801, 5803, 5806, 5812, 5817, 5819, 5826, 5837; from the representation of 'his sons' as the truths of the Church within the natural, dealt with in 5414, 5879, all of which are 'their households'; from the meaning of 'coming' as drawing nearer; and from the representation of Pharaoh, to whom 'me', the one they were to come to, refers here, as factual knowledge in general within the natural. From all this it is evident that 'take your father and your households, and come to me' means the drawing of spiritual good and of the truths of the Church nearer to factual knowledge in the natural.
