5474. Do not sin against the child. That this signifies that they should not be disjoined, namely, the external from the internal, is evident from the signification of "sinning," as being disjunction (see n. 5229), for all sin disjoins; and from the representation of Joseph, who is here the "child," as being the internal (as above, n. 5469).
