6177. 'And he called his son Joseph' means the presence of the internal. This is clear from the meaning of 'calling to himself' as causing to be present with oneself, thus the presence; and from the representation of 'Joseph' as the internal, as many times before, 6089, 6117, 6120, 6128, 6136, 6145, 6149, 6152, 6153, 6156, 6163, 6167.
