5792. 'And you, go up in peace to your father' means that the adjuncts, among whom the interior truth does not exist, are to return to their previous state. This is clear from the representation of the ten sons of Jacob as adjuncts among whom the cup, that is, the interior truth meant by 'the cup', was not found, 5776, 5788, 5790; and from the meaning of 'going up in peace to your father' as returning to a previous state. For when they are not accepted by the internal, which is 'Joseph', their previous state awaits them.
