Arcana Coelestia (Potts) n. 5523

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

5523. And bring your youngest brother unto me. That this signifies that if there were an intermediate there would be conjunction, is evident from the representation of Benjamin, who is here the "youngest brother," as being an intermediate (see n. 5411, 5413, 5443); and from the signification of "bringing him unto me," as being that thereby there would be conjunction. For by the intermediate there is effected a conjunction of the internal represented by Joseph with the external things represented by the sons of Jacob (as shown above, n. 5411, 5413, 5427, 5428).
