6249. 'And Israel saw Joseph's sons' means a discernment regarding the Church's understanding and will. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing' as discernment, dealt with in 2150, 3764, 4403-4421, 4567, 4723, 5400; and from the representation of Ephraim and Manasseh as the Church's understanding and will, born from the internal, which is 'Joseph', dealt with in 5354, 6222.
