5819. 'And our father said' means perception received from spiritual good. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' in the historical narratives of the Word as perception, dealt with often, and from the representation of Israel, to whom 'father' refers here, as spiritual good, dealt with in 3654, 4186, 4598.
