創世記 40

Studie

   

1 這事以埃及王的酒政和膳長得罪了他們的埃及王,

2 法老就惱怒酒政和膳長這臣,

3 把他們下在護衛長府內的監裡,就是約瑟被囚的地方

4 護衛長把他們交給約瑟,約瑟便伺候他們;他們有些日子在監裡。

5 被囚在監之埃及王的酒政和膳長同夜各做夢,各夢有講解。

6 到了早晨,約瑟進到他們那裡,見他們有愁悶的樣子。

7 他便問法老的二臣,就是與他同囚在他人府裡的,:他們今日為甚麼面帶愁容呢?

8 他們對他我們各人做了一夢,沒有人能解。約瑟:解夢不是出於麼?請你們將夢告訴我。

9 酒政便將他的夢告訴約瑟:我夢見在我面前有一棵葡萄樹,

10 樹上有根枝子,好像發了芽,開了花,上頭的葡萄都成熟了。

11 法老的杯在我中,我就拿葡萄擠在法老的杯裡,將杯遞在他中。

12 約瑟對他:他所做的夢是這樣解:根枝子就是

13 之內,法老必提你出監,叫你官復原職,你仍要遞杯在法老的中,和先前作他的酒政一樣。

14 但你得好處的時候,求你記念我,施恩與我,在法老面前題我,救我出這監牢。

15 我實在是從希伯來人被拐來的;我在這裡也沒有做過甚麼,叫他們把我下在監裡。

16 膳長見夢解得,就對約瑟:我在夢中見我上頂著筐白餅;

17 極上的筐子裡有為法老烤的各樣食物,有飛上筐子裡的食物。

18 約瑟:你的夢是這樣解:個筐子就是

19 之內,法老必斬斷你的,把你上,必有飛你身上的

20 到了第三,是法老的生日,他為眾臣僕設擺筵席,把酒政和膳長提出監來,

21 使酒政官復原職,他仍舊遞杯在法老手中;

22 但把膳長起來,正如約瑟向他們所解的話。

23 酒政卻不記念約瑟,竟忘了他。

5162. 'And he lifted up the head' means [according to] what was of providence and what was of foresight. This is clear from the meaning of 'lifting up the head' as a decision attributable to providence and also to foresight, dealt with above in 5124, 5155. Providence is at work in the case of that power of sensory perception which is subject to the understanding part and is retained as something good, this being represented by 'the cupbearer'; but foresight is at work in the case of that sensory perception which is subject to the will part and is cast aside as something evil, this being represented by 'the baker'. That which is good is of providence while that which is evil is of foresight because everything good originates in the Lord but everything evil in hell or in the human proprium. As regards the human proprium being nothing but evil, see 210, 215, 694, 874-876, 987, 1023, 1044, 1047, 1581, 3812 (end), 4328.
