4740.“约瑟到了他哥哥们那里”表当关于祂的宣告作出之时。这从“约瑟”的代表清楚可知，“约瑟”是指神性真理，尤其是关于主的神性人身的真理。当说这真理“到他们那里”时，意思是，它被宣告给他们；因为“他哥哥们”代表坚持与仁分离之信的教会，这真理就是被宣告给该教会成员。
Potts(1905-1910) 4740
4740. And it came to pass when Joseph was come unto his brethren. That this signifies when it was preached about, is evident from the representation of Joseph, as being truth Divine, especially concerning the Lord's Divine Human. When this is said to "come unto them," it means that it is preached to them; for his brethren represent the church which is in faith separate, to whom this is preached.
Elliott(1983-1999) 4740
4740. 'It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers' means when a declaration was made concerning Him. This is clear from the representation of 'Joseph' as Divine truth, in particular concerning the Lord's Divine Human. When this is said 'to come to them' the meaning is that it is declared to them, for 'his brothers' represents the Church that adheres to faith separated from charity, whose members have that truth declared to them.
Latin(1748-1756) 4740
4740. `Factum, sicut venit Joseph ad fratres suos': quod significet cum de Ipso praedicatum, constat a repraesentatione `Josephi' quod sit `Verum Divinum' imprimis de Divino Humano Domini; hoc cum dicitur `venire ad illos,' est quod praedicetur illis; `fratres enim illius' repraesentant Ecclesiam quae in fide separata, quibus id praedicatum.
