Postanak 49

Studie

   

1 Jakov zatim sazva svoje sinove te reče: "Skupite se da vam kažem što će vas snaći u kasnije vrijeme:

2 Okupite se, čujte, sinovi Jakovljevi, čujte oca svoga Izraela!

3 Ti Rubene, moj prvorođenče, snaga ti si moja, prvenac moje muškosti. Ističeš, se ponosom, snagom se ističeš,

4 no, poput vode nabujao, nećeš više imati prvenstva, jer na ležaj oca svog se pope, moj tad oskvrnu krevet.

5 Šimun i Levi braća su prava! Mačevi im oruđe nasilja.

6 Na njihova vijećanja ja ne silazio, u njihovim zborovima udjela ne imao! U srdžbi su svojoj ljude ubijali; u obijesti bikove sakatili.

7 Prokleta im srdžba, jer je prežestoka! Prokleta im obijest, jer je preokrutna! Razdijelit ću ih po Jakovu, Izraelom raspršiti.

8 Judo! Tvoja braća slavit će te; svagda ti je šaka na šiji dušmana, sinci oca tvoga tebi će se klanjat.

9 Judo, laviću mali! Plijenom si se, sine, udebljao; poput lava, poput lavice legao potrbuške! Tko bi ga dražiti smio?

10 Od Jude žezlo se kraljevsko, ni palica vladalačka od nogu njegovih udaljiti neće dok ne dođe onaj kome pripada - kome će se narodi pokoriti.

11 Svog magarca za lozu privezuje, mlado magarice svoje za čokot. U vinu on kupa svoju odjeću svoju halju u krvi od grožđa.

12 Oči su mu od vina mutne, zubi bjelji od mlijeka.

13 Zebulun će stanovati uz obalu morsku, luka spasa bit će brodarima, uz bok njegov Sidon će ležati.

14 Jisakar je koščat magarac polegao među ogradama.

15 Vidje da je odmor ugodan, a zemlja lijepa, te leđa svoja pod teret podmetnu i na tlaku pristade.

16 Dan će narod svoj suditi kao svako pleme Izraelovo.

17 Nek' Dan zmija bude na putu, guja pokraj staze što će konja za zglob ujesti, i njegov konjik nauznak će pasti.

18 U spas tvoj se, Jahve, uzdam!

19 Gada će pljačkat razbojnici, pljačkom će im za petama biti.

20 U Ašera bit će hrane, poslastica za kraljeve.

21 Naftali je košuta lakonoga koja krasnu lanad mladi.

22 Josip je stablo plodno, plodno stablo kraj izvora, grane svoje grana preko zida.

23 Strijelci njega saletjeli, strijeljali ga, opljačkali.

24 Ali luk mu čvrst ostaje, mišice mu ojačale, rukom Jakog Jakovljeva, imenom Pastira, Stijene Izraela,

25 Bogom, Ocem tvojim, koji ti pomaže, Svesilnim koji te blagoslivlje blagoslovom ozgo sa nebesa, blagoslovom ozdo iz dubina, blagoslovom iz svih prsa, iz svih utroba!

26 Blagoslovom klasja i cvjetova, blagoslovom drevnih brda, želja vječnih brežuljaka - nek' se oni spuste na Josipa, između braće posvećenog!

27 Benjamin je vuk grabežljivi, lovinu on jutrom jede, a navečer plijen dijeli."

28 Sve su to Izraelova plemena - dvanaest ih na broj - i to im je otac rekao kad ih je blagoslivljao; svakoga je od njih blagoslovio njegovim blagoslovom.

29 Poslije toga im dade ovu naredbu: "Naskoro ću se pridružiti svojim precima. Sahranite me kraj mojih otaca,

30 u spilji što se nalazi na polju Efrona, Hetita, u spilji na polju Makpeli, nasuprot Mamri, u zemlji kanaanskoj. To je ona koju je Abraham kupio s poljem od Hetita Efrona za mjesto sahranjivanja.

31 Ondje je sahranjen Abraham i njegova žena Sara; sahranjeni su ondje Izak i njegova žena Rebeka; ondje sam ja sahranio Leu.

32 Polje i spilja na njemu kupljeni su od Hetita."

33 Kad je Jakov tako naputio svoje sinove, povuče noge natrag na postelju te izdahnu - pridruži se svojim precima.

3861. 'And she called his name Reuben' means the essential nature of it, which is described. This is clear from the meaning of 'name' and 'calling the name' as the essential nature, dealt with in 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2724, 3006, 3421. That nature itself is described by the statement, 'Because Jehovah has seen my affliction, for now my husband will love me', the literal meaning of the name Reuben. Spiritually however all names in the Word mean real things, as has been shown often, see 1224, 1264, 1876, 1888; and among me ancients when a name was given it meant some state, 340, 1946, 2643, 3422. Here it will be seen that the names of all the sons of Jacob mean the universal attributes of the Church. Also one specific universal attribute has been combined within each name, but what that attribute is no one can possibly know unless he knows the internal sense embodied in the words from which each son's name is derived. That is, he needs to know the internal sense embodied in 'has seen' from which Reuben is derived, and in 'has heard' from which Simeon is derived, and in 'has clung to' from which Levi is derived, and in 'to confess' from which Judah is derived, and so on with all the other sons.

3338. In addition to those two forms of light there are also two forms of warmth or heat, which likewise have two separate sources. The warmth of heaven comes from the Sun of heaven, which is the Lord, and the warmth of the world comes from the sun of the world, which is plainly visible before our eyes. The warmth of heaven manifests itself before the internal man by means of spiritual loves and affections, whereas the warmth of the world manifests itself before the external man by means of natural loves and affections. The first form of warmth constitutes the life of the internal man, whereas the second constitutes that of the external man; for without love and affection a person cannot live at all. Between those two forms of warmth also correspondences exist. Those two forms of it become loves and affections from the influx of the Lord's life, and therefore they show themselves to man as if they were not forms of warmth, when in fact that is what they are. For if a person did not receive warmth from the Lord's inflowing life, both in his internal man and in his external man, he would instantly fall down dead. These considerations are evident to anyone from the fact that to the extent a person is fired by love he also becomes warmer, and to the extent love departs he cools off. It is from this warmth that a person's will lives, but from the light spoken of above that his understanding lives.
