创世记 44

Studie

   

1 约瑟吩咐家宰说:『把粮食装满这些袋,尽着他们的驴所能驮的,又把各子放在各袋里,

2 并将我的杯和那少年人籴粮的子一同装在他的袋里。』家宰就照约瑟所行了;

3 天一亮就打发那些人带着走了。

4 他们出城走了不远,约瑟对家宰:『起来,追那些人去,追上了就对他们:「你们为甚麽以恶报善呢?

5 这不是我人饮酒的杯吗?岂不是他占卜用的吗?你们这样行是作恶了。」』

6 家宰追上他们,将这些对他们了。

7 他们回答:『我为甚麽这样的呢?你仆人断不能作这样的事。

8 你看,我们从前在袋里所见的子,尚且从迦南带来还你,我们怎能从你人家里呢?

9 仆人中无论在谁那里搜出来,就叫他,我们也作我的奴仆。』

10 家宰:『现在就照你们的行吧!在谁那里搜出来,谁就作我的奴仆;其馀的都没有罪。』

11 於是他们各急忙把口袋卸在,各打开口袋。

12 家宰就搜查,从年长的起到年幼的为止,那杯竟在便雅悯的口袋里搜出来。

13 他们就撕裂衣服,各把驮子抬在上,回城去了。

14 犹大和他弟兄们到约瑟的中,约瑟还在那里,他们就在他面前俯伏於

15 约瑟对他们:『你们作的是甚麽事呢?你们岂不知像我这样的必能占卜吗?』

16 犹大:『我们甚麽呢?还有甚麽话可呢?我们怎能自己表白出来呢?已经查出仆人的罪孽了。我们与那在他中搜出杯来的都是我的奴仆。

17 约瑟:『我断不能这样行!在谁的中搜出杯来,谁就作我的奴仆;至於你们,可以平平安安地上你们父亲那里去。』

18 犹大他,:『我啊,求你容仆人一句给我听,不要向仆人发烈怒,因为你如同法老一样。

19 曾问仆人:「你们有父亲兄弟没有?」

20 我们对我:「我们有父亲,已经年老,还有他老年所生的一个小孩子。他哥哥死了,他母亲只撇下他一人,他父亲他。」

21 你对仆人:「把他带到我这里来,叫我亲眼看看他。」

22 我们对我:童子不能离开他父亲,若是离开,他父亲

23 你对仆人:你们的小兄弟若不与你们一同来,你们就不得再见我的面。

24 我们上到你仆人─我们父亲那里,就把我告诉了他。

25 我们父亲:你们再去给我籴些粮来。

26 我们我们不能去。我们的小兄弟若和我们同往,我们就可以去。因为,小兄弟若不与我们同往,我们必不得见那的面。

27 仆人─我父亲我们:你们知道我的妻子给我生了两个儿子。

28 个离开我出去了;我他必是被撕碎了,直到如今我也没有见他。

29 现在你们又要把这个带去离开我,倘若他遭害,那便是你们使我白发苍苍、悲悲惨惨地阴间去了。

30 父亲的命与这童子的命相连。如今我回到你仆人─我父亲那里,若没有童子与我们同在,

31 我们父亲见没有童子,他就必。这便是我们使你仆人我们父亲白发苍苍、悲悲惨惨地阴间去了。

32 因为仆人曾向我父亲为这童子作保,说:我若不他回来交给父亲,我便在父亲面前永远担罪。

33 现在求你容仆人住下,替这童子作我的奴仆,叫童子和他哥哥们一同上去。

34 若童子不和我同去,我怎能上去见我父亲呢?恐怕我见灾祸临到我父亲身上。

In Genesis 37:7, this signifies the doctrine of the Lord's Divine Human as the supreme doctrine for worship. (Arcana Coelestia 4687)

In Psalms 7:10; 11:2; 15:1, 2; 18:23, 25; 84:11, this signifies what is true from charity or good-will from the Lord. (Arcana Coelestia 612)

4687. 'And behold, my sheaf arose and also stood up' means teaching concerning the Lord's Divine Human. This is clear from the meaning of 'a sheaf' as doctrinal teaching, dealt with immediately above; and from the meaning of 'arising and standing up' as that which is the highest and is going to reign and which they are going to worship. The highest object of worship is the Lord's Divine Human, as is evident from the descriptions which follow: The eleven sheaves bowed down to that sheaf, and in the second dream the sun, moon, and eleven stars bowed down to Joseph (meaning that which is highest and is going to reign and which they are going to worship), on account of which dreams Jacob says, 'Are we indeed to come - I and your mother, and your brothers - to bow down to you to the earth?' The Lord's Divine Truth is that which is represented by 'Joseph', as stated above, the highest aspect of it being the Lord Himself, and the highest among matters of doctrine being that His Human is Divine.

[2] So far as this highest matter of doctrine is concerned, the Most Ancient Church, which was celestial and was called Man more so than all others, worshipped the Infinite Being (Esse) and the Infinite Manifestation (Existens) of that Being. And because they could not have any perception of an Infinite Being, yet could have - from what they could perceive in their internal man, what they could experience with their senses in their external man, and what was visible to them in the world - some perception of the Infinite Manifestation of the Infinite Being, they therefore worshipped the Infinite Manifestation which held the Infinite Being within it. That Infinite Manifestation holding the Infinite Being within it they perceived as a Divine Man. They did so because they knew that the Infinite Manifestation was brought forth from the Infinite Being by means of heaven. And because heaven is the Grand Man corresponding to every single part of the human being - as has been shown at the ends of chapters before this one and will be shown at the ends of several more coming after it they were unable to have through perception any other conception of the Infinite Manifestation of an Infinite Being than that of a Divine Man. For whatever passes from the Infinite Being by way of heaven as the Grand Man presents an image of that Being in every single thing. When that celestial Church started to fall they foresaw that that Infinite Manifestation could not continue any longer to come into people's minds and that this being so the human race would perish. For this reason they received by revelation the knowledge that One was to be born who would make Divine the Human within Himself and in this way an Infinite Manifestation like that which had existed previously would come about, and would at length be one with the Infinite Being as this had also been previously. From this arose their prophecy concerning the Lord contained in Genesis 3:15.

[3] This whole matter is described in John as follows,

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us; and we beheld His glory as of the Only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:1-4, 14.

'The Word' is Divine Truth which in its Essence is the Infinite Manifestation of the Infinite Being, and is the Human of the Lord Himself. This Human is the source from which Divine truth now proceeds and flows into heaven, and through heaven into the minds of men. Consequently this Human rules and governs everything, even as it has done so from eternity; for it is one and the same with the Infinite being by virtue of His joining the Human to the Divine, which He effected by making even the Human within Him Divine. From this it may now be seen that the highest aspect of Divine truth is the Lord's Divine Human, and from this that the Church's highest matter of doctrine is that His Human is Divine.
