5785. 'God has found out the iniquity of your servants' means a confession, a confession that they had acted iniquitously, in this case by selling Joseph, by which is meant in the internal sense that they had alienated themselves from truth and goodness, and so had separated themselves from the internal. This is clear without explanation.
