創世記 37

Studie

   

1 雅各迦南,就是他父親寄居的

2 雅各的記略如下。約瑟十七歲與他哥哥們一同牧。他是個童子,與他父親的妾辟拉、悉帕的兒子們常在一處。約瑟將他哥哥們的惡行報給他們的父親

3 以色列原來約瑟過於他的眾子,因為約瑟是他年老生的;他給約瑟做了一件彩衣。

4 約瑟的哥哥們見父親約瑟過於他們,就恨約瑟,不與他和睦的話。

5 約瑟做了一夢,告訴他哥哥們,他們就越發恨他。

6 約瑟對他們:請我所做的夢:

7 我們在田裡捆禾稼,我的捆起來站著,你們的捆來圍著我的捆下拜。

8 他的哥哥們回答:難道你真要作我們的王麼?難道你真要管轄我們麼?他們就因為他的夢和他的越發恨他。

9 後來他又做了一夢,也告訴他的哥哥:看哪,我又做了一夢,夢見太陽月亮,與十一個向我下拜。

10 約瑟將這夢告訴他父親和他哥哥們,他父親就責備他:你做的這是甚麼夢!難道我和你母親、你弟兄果然要俯伏在,向你下拜麼?

11 哥哥們都嫉妒他,他父親卻把這存在心裡。

12 約瑟的哥哥們往示劍去放他們父親

13 以色列對約瑟:你哥哥們不是在示劍放羊麼?你來,我要打發你往他們那裡去。約瑟:我在這裡。

14 以色列:你去哥哥們平安不平安,平安不平安,就回來報信給我;於是打發他出希伯崙,他就往示劍去了。

15 遇見他在田野走迷了路,就問他:你甚麼?

16 :我找我的哥哥們,求你告訴我,他們在何處放羊。

17 :他們已經走了,我見他們要往多坍去。約瑟就去追趕他哥哥們,遇見他們在多坍。

18 他們遠遠地見他,趁他還沒有走到跟前,大家就同謀要害死他,

19 彼此:你看!那做夢的來了

20 來罷!我們將他殺了,丟在裡,就有惡獸把他吃了我們他的夢將來怎麼樣。

21 流便見了,要救他脫離他們的我們不可害他的性命;

22 :不可流他的血,可以把他丟在這野地的裡,不可下害他。流便的意思是要救他脫離他們的,把他歸還他的父親

23 約瑟到了他哥哥們那裡,他們就剝了他的外衣,就是他穿的那件彩衣,

24 把他丟在裡;那是空的,裡頭沒有

25 他們飯,舉目觀,見有一夥米甸的以實瑪利人從基列,用駱駝馱著香料、乳香、沒藥,要埃及去。

26 猶大對眾弟兄我們我們兄弟,藏了他的血有甚麼益處呢?

27 我們不如將他以實瑪利人,不可下害他;因為他是我們兄弟我們的骨。眾弟兄就從了他。

28 有些米甸的商人從那裡經過,哥哥們就把約瑟從裡拉上來,講定二十舍客勒子,把約瑟以實瑪利人。他們就把約瑟埃及去了。

29 流便回到邊,見約瑟不在裡,就撕裂衣服

30 回到兄弟們那裡,:童子沒有了。我往那裡去才好呢?

31 他們宰了一隻公山羊,把約瑟的那件彩衣染了血,

32 打發人送到他們的父親那裡,:我們撿了這個;請認一認是你兒子的外衣不是?

33 他認得,就:這是我兒子的外衣。有惡獸把他吃了,約瑟被撕碎了!撕碎了!

34 雅各便撕裂衣服,腰間圍上麻布,為他兒子悲哀了多日。

35 他的兒女都起來安慰他,他卻不肯受安慰:我必悲哀著陰間,到我兒子那裡。約瑟的父親就為他哀哭。

36 米甸人帶約瑟到埃及,把他法老的內臣─護衛長波提乏。

Father

  
Rudolf von Arthaber with his Children, by Friedrich von Amerling

Father in the Word means what is most interior, and in those things that are following the Lord's order, it means what is good. In the highest sense Father means the Lord Himself, the creator. In the generation of natural children it is the father who provides the soul or the most interior receptacle of life, and an internal heredity, and the mother who provides all of the substance that the soul uses to form its body, plus an external heredity. In this process the soul comes from the Lord through the father, and not from the father, since all life is from the Lord. The wise person calls the Lord his father and the church his mother because his interior loves come from the Lord, but are given form and actuality through the truths taught by the church. Those things thus brought forth are a person's spiritual "children". In the New Testament, when speaking of Jesus and the Father, what is meant is the outward manifestation with the divine itself as the soul inside. Because Jesus was born from a natural mother, He had a natural body and a natural Jewish heredity. Throughout his life as He was tempted by the hells, He slowly put off all he had from His mother and replaced it with what He had from Himself inside, the Father. In doing this he made himself one with the Father that was His inmost so He could truly say, "I and my Father are one".
