6527. 'And his brothers' means the truths coming forth from this. This is clear from the representation of the sons of Israel, to whom 'Joseph's brothers' refers here, as spiritual truths, dealt with in 5414, 5879, 5951, which truths also come forth from the celestial internal, which is 'Joseph', though by way of spiritual good, which is 'Israel'.
