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。

5097. And Joseph came unto them in the morning. That this signifies revealed and clear to the celestial of the spiritual, is evident from the representation of Joseph, as being the celestial of the spiritual (n. 4286, 4592, 4963); and from the signification of “morning,” as being a state of enlightenment, (n. 3458), thus what is revealed and clear. That “morning” has this signification is because all times of the day, like all times of the year, signify various states in accordance with the variations of the light of heaven. The variations of the light of heaven are not variations like those of the light of the world every day and every year, but are variations of intelligence and love; for the light of heaven is nothing else than Divine intelligence from the Lord, which is bright before the eyes; and the heat of this light is the Lord’s Divine love, which is warm to the sense. It is this light which gives man understanding, and this heat which gives him vital warmth and a will of good. Morning in heaven is a state of enlightenment as to those things which are of good and truth, which state exists when it is acknowledged, and still more when it is perceived, that good is good and that truth is truth. Perception is internal revelation; hence by the “morning” is signified what is revealed; and because then that becomes clear which before was obscure, by “morning” is also signified what is clear.

[2] Moreover, by “morning” is signified in the supreme sense the Lord Himself, for the reason that the Lord is the Sun from which comes all the light in heaven, and He is always in the rising, thus in the morning. Moreover, He is always rising with everyone who receives the truth which is of faith and the good which is of love, but He is setting with everyone who does not receive these-not that the Sun there sets, for as just said He is always in the rising; but that he who does not receive, causes Him as it were to set with himself. This may be compared in some degree to the changes of the sun of this world in respect to the inhabitants of the earth; for neither does this sun set, since it always remains in its place and is always shining thence; but it appears as if it set, because the earth rotates about its axis once every day, and at the same time removes its inhabitant from the sight of the sun (see n. 5084); and therefore the setting is not in the sun, but in the removal of the inhabitant of the earth from its light. This comparison is illustrative; and because in every part of nature there is something representative of the Lord’s kingdom, it also instructs us that the deprivation of the light of heaven-that is, of intelligence and wisdom-does not take place because the Lord, who is the Sun of intelligence and wisdom, sets with anyone, but because the inhabitant of His kingdom removes himself, that is, suffers himself to be led by the hell by which he is removed.
