6251. 'And Joseph said to his father' means a response coming from what exists more internally. This becomes clear without explanation, since 'Joseph' means what is internal, 6177. For what happens when a person perceives something is that he asks himself what he knows about the matter and also responds to what he asks from what exists more internally in him. I have also noticed that when spirits have asked me what I knew about something they received a response by merely looking into my thought.
