創世記 46

Studie

   

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。

17 亞設的兒子是音拿、亦施瓦、亦施韋、比利亞,還有他們的妹子西拉。比利亞的兒子是希別、瑪結。

18 這是拉班給他女兒利亞的婢女悉帕從雅各所生的兒孫,共有十六人。

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。

6025. Further explanation of these verses can be dispensed with since they are mere names. What those names mean may be seen from the general explanation given immediately above in 6024; and what Jacob's actual sons mean may be seen in the explanation where their births are dealt with. But the following observation is worth making, that no son was born to Jacob's sons in Egypt when they came there, though they were still young men; all their sons were born in the land of Canaan. They themselves, apart from Benjamin, were born in Paddan Aram; and this was for a particular reason that the Lord in His Divine Providence had in view, which was that aspects of the Church might be represented by them from when they were born. Their being born in Paddan Aram represented the fact that a member of the Church must be born anew or regenerated through knowledge or cognitions of goodness and truth, for Paddan Aram means that knowledge, 3664, 3680, 4107, while their actual birth represented the new birth effected through faith and charity, 4668, 5160, 5598, and so at the initial stage through knowledge of them. But the birth of all Jacob's sons' sons in the land of Canaan represented the fact that the kinds of things that constitute the Church spring from that knowledge, for 'the land of Canaan' is the Church, 3705, 3686, 4447, 4454, 4517, 5136, 5757. The birth of Joseph's sons took place in Egypt however so as to represent the dominion of the internal man within the external, especially the dominion of the celestial of the spiritual within the natural. 'Manasseh' is the new area of will within the natural, and 'Ephraim' the new area of understanding there, which the Church possesses.
