6164. 'And Joseph made it a statute' means a conclusion based on consent. This is clear from the meaning of 'making it a statute' as a conclusion based on consent; for what is made a statute comes into being with the consent of both parties and is regarded as one of those which have been mutually agreed on and so have imposed an obligation.
