32 他们就为约瑟单摆了一席,为那些人又摆了一席,也为和约瑟同饭的埃及人另摆了一席,因为埃及人不可和希伯来人一同饭;那原是埃及人所厌恶的。

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'.
