2951. 'And he spoke to Ephron' means an influx with those who were able to receive it. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking' as thinking, 2271, 2287, also willing, 2626, and so as flowing in, for that is how influx is effected; and from the representation of 'Ephron' as those with whom the truth and good of faith could be received, dealt with in 2933.
