6117. 'And all Egypt came to Joseph' means a turning to the internal. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming to him' as turning to; from the meaning of 'Egypt' as factual knowledge, dealt with already; and from the representation of 'Joseph' as the internal, also dealt with already. The consideration that all factual knowledge in the natural was subject to the control of the internal is meant by Joseph's being master over the whole land of Egypt. But the joining of the Church's truths to known facts in the natural is what the internal sense is describing here.
