4348. 'Until he came right up to his brother' means a joining on the part of good that develops from truth, meant by 'Jacob'. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming right up to' as so as to join oneself; from the representation of Esau, to whom 'brother' refers here, as Divine Good within the natural, dealt with above in 4337; and from the representation of 'Jacob' as the good of truth, also dealt with above in 4337. The implications of all this have been explained immediately above in 4347.

6152. 'And Joseph said to the people' means an influx of the internal into facts that have truths within them. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' as perception, dealt with in 6063, and since it refers to the internal, which is 'Joseph', an influx is meant (for what is perceived in the eternal flows in from the internal); from the representation of 'Joseph' as the internal, as has often been stated already; and from the meaning of 'the people' as facts that have truths within them, dealt with in 6146.
