Genesis 40

Проучване

   

1 Ja pärast seda lugu sündis, et Egiptuse kuninga joogikallaja ja pagar eksisid oma isanda, Egiptuse kuninga vastu.

2 Ja vaarao sai väga kurjaks oma kahe hoovkondlase peale, joogikallajate ülema ja pagarite ülema peale.

3 Ja ta andis nad vahi alla ihukaitsepealiku kotta, vangihoonesse, samasse paika, kus Joosep kinni oli.

4 Ja ihukaitsepealik pani Joosepi nende juurde, et ta neid teeniks; ja nad olid vahi all kaua aega.

5 Ja need mõlemad nägid ühel ööl unenäo, kumbki oma unenäo, kumbki oma tähendusega unenäo, Egiptuse kuninga joogikallaja ja pagar, kes vangihoones kinni olid.

6 Kui Joosep tuli hommikul nende juurde ja nägi neid, vaata, siis olid nad nukra näoga.

7 Ja ta küsis vaarao hoovkondlastelt, kes olid koos temaga vahi all ta isanda kojas, öeldes: 'Mispärast on teil täna nii kurvad näod?'

8 Ja nad vastasid temale: 'Me nägime unenägusid, aga ei ole kedagi, kes need seletaks.' Ja Joosep ütles neile: 'Eks seletused ole Jumala käes? Siiski jutustage mulle!'

9 Ja joogikallajate ülem jutustas oma unenäo Joosepile ning ütles temale: 'Mu unenäos oli nõnda: vaata, mu ees oli viinapuu

10 ja viinapuul oli kolm oksa; see lehistus, õitses ja marjakobarad valmisid;

11 mul oli käes vaarao karikas ja ma võtsin viinamarju ja pigistasin neid vaarao karikasse ja andsin karika vaarao kätte.'

12 Ja Joosep ütles temale: 'Selle seletus on niisugune: kolm oksa on kolm päeva.

13 Enne kui kolm päeva on möödunud, tõstab vaarao su pea üles ja paneb sind tagasi su ametisse ja sa annad vaaraole karikat kätte endist viisi, nagu siis, kui olid ta joogikallaja.

14 Aga pea mind meeles, kui su käsi hästi käib, ja tee mulle siis head ning tuleta mind vaaraole meelde ja vii mind siit hoonest välja,

15 sest mind on vargsel viisil varastatud heebrealaste maalt ja ma pole siingi teinud midagi, et mind vangiurkasse pandaks.'

16 Kui pagarite ülem nägi, et ta oli hästi seletanud, siis ta ütles Joosepile: 'Ka mina nägin und, ja vaata, mu pea kohal oli kolm punutud korvi.

17 Kõige ülemises korvis oli kõiksugust vaaraole valmistatud pagarirooga, aga linnud sõid selle mu peapealsest korvist.'

18 Ja Joosep vastas ning ütles: 'Selle seletus on niisugune: kolm korvi on kolm päeva.

19 Enne kui kolm päeva on möödunud, võtab vaarao sul pea otsast ja poob sind puusse ning linnud söövad liha su pealt.'

20 Ja kolmandal päeval, vaarao sünnipäeval, kui ta tegi kõigile oma sulastele suure peo, sündis, et ta tõstis üles joogikallajate ülema pea, samuti pagarite ülema pea oma sulaste seast,

21 ja pani joogikallajate ülema tema joogikallajaametisse vaaraole karikat kätte ulatama,

22 aga pagarite ülema ta laskis puua, nõnda nagu Joosep neile oli seletanud.

23 Ent joogikallajate ülem ei pidanud Joosepit meeles, vaid unustas tema ära.

5127. 'According to the former manner' means in keeping with the law of order. This is clear from the meaning of 'the former manner' as the law of order. The law of order demands that exterior things should be subject to interior ones, or what amounts to the same, lower things should be subject to higher ones, serving them like domestic servants. Indeed exterior or lower things are nothing else than such servants, whereas interior or higher things in relation to them are their lords. The reason 'after the former manner' has this meaning is that as the cupbearer, being a servant, had previously served Pharaoh as his lord, in keeping with the law of subordination, so too was it in keeping with the law of order that the sensory power represented by 'the cupbearer' should serve the interior natural represented by 'Pharaoh'.

[2] The fact that the law of order requires lower or exterior things to serve higher or interior ones is totally unknown to a person governed by his senses. For anyone who relies solely on his senses has no knowledge of what is interior, nor thus of what is exterior in relation to this. He knows about his thought and speech, and about his will and action, and from this presumes that thought and will are interior, speech and action exterior. But he is not aware of the fact that thought based solely on sensory experience, and action based solely on natural impulses, belong to the external man, so that his thought and will are activities of his exterior man alone. He is particularly unaware of this when his thoughts are false thoughts and his desires evil desires. And since in the case of anyone like him communication with his interiors is closed he therefore has no idea of what interior thought is or what interior will is. If he is told that interior thought is based on truth and that interior will is based on doing what is good, he does not begin to understand it. He understands still less if he is told that the interior man is distinct and separate from the exterior - so distinct that the interior man can, from a higher position so to speak, see what is going on in the exterior man - and that the interior man has the ability and power to discipline the exterior, and the ability not to will or think what the exterior man sees as a result of his having false notions and longs for as a result of his having evil desires.

[3] As long as his external man is in control and reigning he sees none of this. But when not in this state, when for example he suffers any pain or grief owing to misfortune or sickness, he can see and grasp it because the external man ceases at that time to be in control. For a person's ability or power to understand is always preserved by the Lord, but it is largely obscured in the case of those steeped in falsities and evils, and is always more apparent as falsities and evils become dormant. The Lord's Divine is constantly coming to a person and bringing him light, but when falsities and evils are present, that is, things contrary to truths and forms of good, the light of the Divine is then either cast aside, smothered, or perverted. Just enough is received, through chinks so to speak, to allow him to think and to speak by the use of ideas received through the senses, and also to think and to speak about spiritual matters with the help of expressions registered in the natural or bodily memory.
