6072. And Pharaoh said unto his brethren. That this signifies a perception about the truths of the church in the natural, is evident from the signification of "saying," as being perception (of which above, n. 6063); from the representation of Pharaoh, as being the natural and memory-knowledge in general (of which also above, n. 6063); and from the representation of the sons of Jacob, who here are the "brethren," as being the truths of the church in the natural (of which above, n. 6064). From all this it is evident that by "Pharaoh said unto his brethren" is signified a perception of the natural about the truths of the church therein.
