Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

6083. 'The land of Egypt is before you' means that factual knowledge in the natural mind is subject to the guidance of the internal celestial. This is clear from the meaning of 'the land of Egypt' as the natural mind where factual knowledge resides, dealt with in 5276, 5278, 5280, 5288, 5301; and from the meaning of 'before you' as being subject to the guidance of the internal celestial, which is 'Joseph', 5869, 5877.
