6103. 'And gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land' means in the inmost part of the natural mind where factual knowledge resides. This is clear from the meaning of 'a possession' as the position spiritual life occupies, dealt with in 2658; from the meaning of 'the land of Egypt' as the natural mind where factual knowledge resides, dealt with in 5276, 5278, 5280, 5288, 5301; and from the meaning of 'the best of the land' as the inmost part, dealt with above in 6084. From this it is evident that 'gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land' means the position occupied by spiritual life in the inmost part of the natural mind where factual knowledge resides.
