1 ヤコブはその子らを呼んで言った、「集まりなさい。後のに、あなたがたの上に起ることを、告げましょう、

2 ヤコブの子らよ、集まって聞け。父イスラエルのことばを聞け。

3 ルベンよ、あなたはわが長子、わが勢い、わが力のはじめ、威光のすぐれた者、権力のすぐれた者。

4 しかし、沸き立つのようだから、もはや、すぐれた者ではあり得ない。あなたは父の床上って汚した。ああ、あなたはわが寝床上った。

5 シメオンとレビとは兄弟。彼らのつるぎは暴虐の武器。

6 わがよ、彼らの会議に臨むな。わが栄えよ、彼らのつどいに連なるな。彼らは怒りに任せて人を殺し、ほしいままに雄牛の足の筋を切った。

7 彼らの怒りは、激しいゆえにのろわれ、彼らの憤りは、はなはだしいゆえにのろわれる。わたしは彼らをヤコブのうちに分け、イスラエルのうちに散らそう。

8 ユダよ、兄弟たちはあなたをほめる。あなたののくびを押え、父のらはあなたの前に身をかがめるであろう。

9 ユダは、ししの。わがよ、あなたは獲物をもって上って来る。彼は雄じしのようにうずくまり、雌じしのように身を伏せる。だれがこれを起すことができよう。

10 つえはユダを離れず、立法者のつえはそのの間を離れることなく、シロ来る時までに及ぶであろう。もろもろの民は彼に従う。

11 彼はそのろばのぶどうの木につなぎ、その雌ろばのを良きぶどうの木につなぐ。彼はその衣服ぶどう酒で洗い、その着物をぶどうの汁で洗うであろう。

12 そのぶどう酒によって赤く、そのは乳によって白い

13 ゼブルンはべに住み、舟の泊まる港となって、その境はシドンに及ぶであろう。

14 イッサカルはたくましいろば、彼は羊のおりの間に伏している。

15 彼は定住の地を見て良しとし、その見て楽しとした。彼はその肩を下げてにない、奴隷となって追い使われる。

16 ダンはおのれの民をさばくであろう、イスラエルのほかの部族のように。

17 ダンのかたわらのへび、のほとりのまむし。かかとをかんで、乗る者をうしろに落すであろう。

18 よ、わたしはあなたの救を待ち望む。

19 ガドには略奪者が迫る。しかし彼はかえって敵のかかとに迫るであろう。

20 アセルはその食物がゆたかで、王の美味をいだすであろう。

21 ナフタリは放たれた雌じか、彼は美しい子じかを生むであろう。

22 ヨセフは実を結ぶ若木、のほとりの実を結ぶ若木。その枝は、かきねを越えるであろう。

23 射る者は彼を激しく攻め、彼を射、彼をいたく悩ました。

24 しかし彼のはなお強く、彼のは素早い。これはヤコブの全能者のにより、イスラエルの岩なる牧者の名により、

25 あなたを助ける父の神により、また上なる天の祝福下に横たわる淵の祝福ぶさと胎の祝福をもって、あなたを恵まれる全能者による。

26 あなたの父の祝福は永遠の山の祝福にまさり、永久の丘の賜物にまさる。これらの祝福はヨセフのかしらに帰し、その兄弟たちの君たる者のの頂に帰する。

27 ベニヤミンはかき裂くおおかみ、にその獲物を食らい、夕にその分捕物を分けるであろう」。

28 すべてこれらはイスラエルの十二の部族である。そしてこれは彼らの父が彼らに語り、彼らを祝福したもので、彼は祝福すべきところに従って、彼らおのおのを祝福した。

29 彼はまた彼らに命じて言った、「わたしはわが民に加えられようとしている。あなたがたはヘテびとエフロンにあるほら穴に、わたしの先祖たちと共にわたしを葬ってください。

30 そのほら穴はカナンの地のマムレの東にあるマクペラのにあり、アブラハムがヘテびとエフロンからと共に買い取り、所有の地としたもので、

31 そこにアブラハムサラとが葬られ、イサクとリベカもそこに葬られたが、わたしはまたそこにレアを葬った。

32 あのとその中にあるほら穴とはヘテの人々から買ったものです」。

33 こうしてヤコブは子らに命じ終って、を床におさめ、息絶えて、その民に加えられた。

6553. 'And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers' means the life of the internal celestial, and of the truths of faith present within factual knowledge. This is clear from the meaning of 'returning' as living, dealt with in 5614, 6518; from the representation of 'Joseph' as the internal celestial, dealt with in 5869, 5877, 6177; from the representation of the sons of Israel, to whom 'his brothers' refers here, as the truths of faith in their entirety, dealt with in 5414, 5879, 5951; and from the meaning of 'Egypt' as factual knowledge, dealt with in 1164, 1165, 1186, 1462, 4749, 4964, 4966. The life of the internal celestial, and of the truths of faith present within factual knowledge, was the subject in the chapters which describe Joseph's becoming lord of the land of Egypt and the one in charge of Pharaoh's house, and after that the journey of Jacob's sons to Joseph, and their arrival together with their father Jacob in Egypt, events that are dealt with in 6004, 6023, 6052, 6071, 6077.

4964. 'Was made to go down to Egypt' means to factual knowledge which the Church possessed. This is clear from the meaning of 'Egypt' as knowledge, or factual knowledge in general, dealt with in 1164, 1165, 1186, 1462. But no explanation of the essential nature of that factual knowledge properly meant by 'Egypt' has been provided as yet. In the Ancient Church there was doctrinal knowledge and there was factual knowledge. Doctrinal knowledge had regard to love to God and charity towards the neighbour, whereas factual knowledge had to do with the correspondences of the natural world with the spiritual world, and with the representations of spiritual and heavenly realities within natural and earthly ones. Such was the factual knowledge of those in the Ancient Church.

[2] Egypt was one of those parts of the world and one of those kingdoms where the Ancient Church also existed, 1138, 1385; but since in that land mainly factual knowledge was handed down from one generation to another, 'Egypt' means factual knowledge in general. This also explains why frequent reference is made to Egypt in the prophetical part of the Word, where that knowledge is meant specifically by 'Egypt'. What is more, the actual magic practised by the Egyptians had its origin in the same knowledge; for they were acquainted with the correspondences of the natural world with the spiritual, and at a later time, after the Church among them had come to an end, they misused these in magical practices. Now because such factual knowledge existed among them - that is to say, knowledge which taught correspondences, and also representatives and meaningful signs - and because this factual knowledge was the servant of the doctrinal teachings of the Church, especially in their understanding of things stated in their Word (for the Word of the Ancient Church was both prophetical and historical, like the Word that exists today, though this is a different Word, see 2686) 'he was made to go down to Egypt' consequently means made to go down to the factual knowledge which the Church possessed.

[3] Because the Lord is represented by 'Joseph' and the words 'Joseph was made to go down to Egypt' are used here, the meaning is that when the Lord was to glorify His Internal Man, that is, make it Divine, He first of all assimilated the factual knowledge possessed by the Church. Then, starting from and using that knowledge He advanced towards things increasingly interior and at length even to those that were Divine. For it pleased Him to glorify or make Himself Divine in conformity with the same kind of order as that by which He regenerates the human being or makes him spiritual, 3138, 3212, 3296, 3490, 4402. That is to say, there is a gradual advance from external ideas, which are known facts and the truths of faith, towards internal ones, which are ideas of charity towards the neighbour and of love to Him. From this one may see what is meant by the following words in Hosea,

When Israel was a boy I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son. Hosea 11:1.

These words refer to the Lord, see Matthew 2:15.
