6235.“我未到埃及你那里之前”表在属世层的真理存在于那里的记忆知识中之前。这从“我未到你那里之前”和“埃及”的含义，以及雅各的代表清楚可知：“我未到你那里之前”是指在它同在之前；指着自己说这话的雅各是指属世层的真理（参看6223节）；“埃及”是指属世层里面的记忆知识（1164，1165，1186，1462，4749，4964，4966，5700，6004节）。雅各和他的儿子们来到埃及代表真理要被灌输到教会的记忆知识中，如前两章所示（6004节）。

6235. Before I came unto thee into Egypt. That this signifies before the truth of the natural was in the memory-knowledges there, is evident from the signification of "before I came unto thee," as being before it was; from the representation of Jacob, who says this of himself, as being the truth of the natural (see n. 6223); and from the signification of "Egypt," as being memory-knowledges in the natural (n. 1164, 1165, 1186, 1462, 4749, 4964, 4966, 5700, 6004). That by Jacob and his sons coming into Egypt was represented that truths were to be insinuated into the memory-knowledges of the church, was shown in the two preceding chapters (n. 6004).
Elliott(1983-1999) 6235
6235. 'prior to my coming to you, to Egypt' means before the truth of the natural existed within factual knowledge. This is clear from the meaning of 'prior to my coming to you' as before it was present; from the representation of Jacob, who says this regarding himself, as the truth of the natural, dealt with above in 6223; and from the meaning of 'Egypt' as factual knowledge within the natural, dealt with in 1164, 1165, 1186, 1462, 4749, 4964, 4966, 5700, 6004. The coming of Jacob and his sons into Egypt represented the instillation of truths into the Church's factual knowledge, as the two previous chapters have shown, see 6004.

6235. `Usque ad me venire ad te Aegyptum': quod significet antequam verum naturalis in scientificis esset, constat ex significatione usque me venire ad te' quod sit antequam esset; ex repraesentatione`Jacobi' qui hoc de se dicit, quod sit verum naturalis, de qua supra n. 6223; et ex significatione `Aegypti' quod sint scientifica in naturali,de qua n. 1164, 1165, 1186, 1462, 4749, 4964, 4966, 5700, 6004; quod per quod `Jacobus et filii ejus venerint in Aegyptum' repraesentatum sit quod vera insinuarentur in scientifica Ecclesiae, ostensum est in binis capitibus quae praecedunt, videatur n. 6004.
