5262. 'And Joseph said to Pharaoh' means a perception which the natural received from the celestial of the spiritual. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' in the historical narratives of the Word as perceiving, from the representation of 'Joseph' as the celestial of the spiritual, and from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as the natural, which specific meaning and representations have often been dealt with already.
