1 以色列帶著一切所有的,起身到別是巴,就獻祭給他父親以撒的

2 夜間,在異象中對以色列雅各雅各!他:我在這裡。

3 :我是,就是你父親。你埃及去不要害怕,因為我必使你在那裡成為族。

4 我要和你同埃及去,也必定帶你上來;約瑟必給你送終(原文作將按在你的眼睛上)。

5 雅各就從別是巴起行。以色列的兒子們使他們的父親雅各和他們的妻子、兒女都坐在法老雅各送來的車上。

6 他們又帶著迦南所得的牲畜、貨財埃及雅各和他的一切子孫都一同來了

7 雅各把他的兒子、孫子、女兒、孫女,並他的子子孫孫,一同帶到埃及

8 埃及以色列人名字記在下面。雅各和他的兒孫:雅各長子是流便。

26 那與雅各同到埃及的,除了他兒婦之外,凡從他所生的,共有六十六人。

27 還有約瑟在埃及所生的兩個兒子。雅各埃及的共有七十人。

28 雅各打發猶大先去見約瑟,請派人引歌珊去;於是他們歌珊

29 約瑟套車往歌珊去,迎接他父親以色列,及至見了面,就伏在父親的頸項,哭了許久。

30 以色列對約瑟:我既得見你的面,知道你還在,就是我也甘心。

31 約瑟對他的弟兄和他父的全家:我要上去告訴法老,對他:我的弟兄和我父的全家從前在迦南,現今都到我這裡來了

32 他們本是牧的人,以養牲畜為業;他們把羊群牛群和一切所有的都帶來了。

33 法老召你們的時候,問你們:你們以何事為業?

34 你們要:你的僕人,從幼年直到如今,都以養牲畜為業,連我們的祖宗也都以此為業。這樣,你們可以歌珊,因為凡牧的都被埃及人所厭惡。

6048. 'And says, What are your works?' means and to know your forms of good. This is clear from meaning of 'works' as forms of good. The reason why 'works' means forms of good is that works originate in the will, and what originates in the will is a form of good or a form of evil, whereas what originates in the understanding, such as spoken words, is a form of truth or a form of falsity. The 'works' done by Jacob's sons, and also by their forefathers, consisted in tending livestock, thus in acting as shepherds; and by these 'works' too forms of good are meant, in particular forms of the good of truth. This meaning has its origin in correspondences, for lambs, sheep, kids, and she-goats, which are members of the flock, correspond to forms of the good of charity; and so do young bulls and oxen, which are members of the herd. The fact that these animals have this correspondence is clear from the consideration that when angels, moved by a heavenly affection, talk to one another about forms of the good of charity, flocks and herds are seen in some places in the world of spirits and also in the first or lowest heaven. Flocks are seen when they talk about interior forms of the good of charity, but herds when they talk about exterior forms, see 3218-3220. This explains why in the Word such deeds are meant by 'flocks and herds'.

[2] In general it should be recognized that every spiritual meaning contained in the Word has its origin in representatives in the next life, and those representatives in correspondences. The reason for this is that the natural world derives its existence from the spiritual world in the way an effect does from its cause, to the end that the spiritual world may flow into the natural world and act as the causes behind things there. In this way everything there is maintained in its proper path and order. For the whole natural creation is a theatre representative of the Lord's kingdom, that is, of the spiritual and celestial realities there, see 2758, 2987-3002, 4939, 5116.
