This is clear from the meaning of 'travelling on' as a stage further and a continuation, dealt with in 4375, 4882, 5493, in this case a continuation of and further stage in the glorification of the Lord, who in the highest sense is 'Israel' and 'Joseph', whereas a continuation and further stage of a person's regeneration is meant in the internal sense. And since this chapter now reaches a further stage in and continues the subject of the joining of the natural man to the spiritual, or the external man to the internal, 'Israel travelled on and all that he had' means the beginning of the joining together.
