5900. 'And now, you did not send me here' means that they had not handed him over to the factual knowledge in the natural. This is clear from the meaning of Egypt, the 'here' to which he had been sent, as factual knowledge within the natural, dealt with in 1164, 1165, 1186, 1462, 4749, 4964, 4966, 5700. The meaning of the words 'you did not send me', which is that they had not handed him over, is self-evident.
