4339. 'Jacob lifted up his eyes and saw' means the perception and the attention of the good of truth, meant by 'Jacob'. This is clear from the meaning of 'lifting up the eyes and seeing' as perception and attention. For 'lifting up the eyes' is an external action which corresponds to a raising of the mind, an internal activity, and so corresponds to perception, while 'seeing' corresponds to consequent attention. Also, 'Jacob' at this point represents the good of truth, see just above in 4337.

6224. 'And said, Behold, your son Joseph has come to you' means the presence of the internal. This is clear from the representation of 'Joseph' as the internal, 6177; and from the meaning of 'coming to someone' as presence, dealt with in 5934, 5941, 5947, 6063, 6089. 'Joseph' is the internal and in some other places the internal celestial, which one depending on the things with which it is connected in the natural below. The term 'the internal' is used when the connection is with the lower parts of the natural, which are represented by 'Jacob', and similarly when the connection is with Pharaoh. But the terms 'the internal celestial' and 'internal good' are used when the connection is with the interior parts of the natural, which are represented by 'Israel' and also by 'his ten sons' each connection existing because one flows into the other.
