Genezo 40

Studie

   

1 Post tiuj okazintajxoj la vinisto de la regxo de Egiptujo kaj la bakisto kulpigxis antaux sia sinjoro, la regxo de Egiptujo.

2 Kaj Faraono kolerigxis kontraux siaj du korteganoj, kontraux la vinistestro kaj kontraux la bakistestro.

3 Kaj li metis ilin sub gardon en la domon de la estro de la korpogardistoj, en la malliberejon, en la lokon, kie Jozef estis malliberigita.

4 Kaj la estro de la korpogardistoj destinis por ili Jozefon, kaj li servis ilin. Kaj ili restis kelkan tempon en la malliberejo.

5 Kaj ambaux songxis songxon, cxiu sian apartan songxon en la sama nokto, cxiu kun aparta signifo de la songxo, la vinisto kaj la bakisto de la regxo de Egiptujo, kiuj estis tenataj en la malliberejo.

6 Kiam Jozef venis al ili matene, li vidis, ke ili estas cxagrenitaj.

7 Kaj li demandis la korteganojn de Faraono, kiuj estis kun li en malliberejo en la domo de lia sinjoro, dirante: Kial viaj vizagxoj estas cxagrenitaj hodiaux?

8 Kaj ili diris al li: Ni songxis songxon, sed estas cxi tie neniu, kiu gxin signifoklarigus. Kaj Jozef diris al ili: La signifoklarigoj apartenas ja al Dio; tamen rakontu al mi.

9 Tiam la vinistestro rakontis sian songxon al Jozef, kaj diris al li: En mia songxo mi vidis antaux mi vinbertrunkon;

10 la trunko havis tri brancxojn; apenaux gxi ekfloris, tuj aperis sur gxi beraroj kun maturaj beroj;

11 kaj la pokalo de Faraono estis en mia mano; kaj mi prenis la berojn, kaj mi elpremis ilin en la pokalon de Faraono, kaj mi donis la pokalon en la manon de Faraono.

12 Kaj Jozef diris al li: Jen estas gxia signifoklarigo: la tri brancxoj estas tri tagoj;

13 post tri tagoj Faraono levos vian kapon kaj redonos al vi vian oficon, kaj vi donos la pokalon de Faraono en lian manon laux la maniero de antauxe, kiam vi estis lia vinisto.

14 Sed memoru min, kiam estos bone al vi, kaj faru al mi favorkorajxon kaj memorigu pri mi Faraonon kaj elirigu min el cxi tiu domo.

15 CXar oni sxtelis min el la lando de la Hebreoj, kaj ankaux cxi tie mi faris nenion, pro kio oni metis min en la malliberejon.

16 Kiam la bakistestro vidis, ke la signifoklarigo estas bona, li diris al Jozef: Mi ankaux havis songxon; jen tri blankaj korboj estis sur mia kapo;

17 kaj en la supra korbo estis cxiaspecaj mangxajxoj de Faraono, bakitajxoj, kaj la birdoj mangxis ilin el la korbo sur mia kapo.

18 Kaj Jozef respondis, dirante: Jen estas gxia signifoklarigo: la tri korboj estas tri tagoj;

19 post tri tagoj Faraono deprenos de vi vian kapon kaj pendigos vin sur arbo, kaj la birdoj formangxos de vi vian karnon.

20 En la tria tago, tago de naskigxo de Faraono, li faris festenon por cxiuj siaj servantoj; kaj li venigis la vinistestron kaj la bakistestron en la mezon de siaj servantoj.

21 Kaj li redonis al la vinistestro lian oficon, kaj tiu donis la pokalon en la manon de Faraono;

22 sed la bakistestron li pendigis, kiel songxoklarigis al ili Jozef.

23 Kaj la vinistestro ne rememoris Jozefon, sed forgesis lin.

Arcana Coelestia # 5094

5094. 'The cupbearer and the baker' means regarding both kinds of sensory powers. This is clear from the meaning of 'the cupbearer' as the sensory powers subordinate to the understanding part of the mind, dealt with in 5077, and from the meaning of 'the baker' as the sensory powers subordinate to the will part, dealt with in 5078, which, as stated above in 5083, 5089, were cast aside by the interior natural. But it should be realized that the actual powers of the senses were not cast aside - that is to say, sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, for the life of the body is dependent on these - but the insights or thoughts, as well as the affections and desires, that are dependent on them. Objects belonging to the world enter a person's external or natural memory by way of his senses on the one hand and by way of his rational thought on the other. These objects then divide themselves off from one another in that memory; those entering through rational thought place themselves in a more internal position, whereas those entering through the senses do so in a more external one, as a consequence of which the natural comes to have two parts - the interior part and the exterior - as has also been stated above.

[2] The interior natural is what 'Pharaoh king of Egypt' represents, while the exterior natural is what 'the cupbearer and the baker' represents. The nature of the difference between the two becomes clear from the different ways they look at things, that is, from their thoughts and their conclusions based on those thoughts. The person who uses the interior natural to think with and to form conclusions is rational, and is so insofar as he has absorbed what comes to him through rational thought; but the person who uses the exterior natural to think with and form conclusions is governed by his senses, and is so insofar as he has absorbed what comes to him from sensory evidence. Such a person is called one governed by his senses, whereas the other is called one who is rational-natural. When a person dies he has the entire natural with him; and its form remains the same as that which it took in the world. He is also rational-minded to the extent he has absorbed ideas from rational thought, but sensory-minded to the extent he has absorbed ideas from his senses. The difference between the two is that, to the extent it has absorbed ideas from rational thought and made them its own, the natural looks down on the senses belonging to the exterior natural and controls them by disparaging and casting aside illusions formed by the senses. But to the extent that it has absorbed ideas formed by the bodily senses and made them its own the natural looks down on rational thought by disparaging this and casting it aside.

[3] An example of the difference between the two may be seen in the ability of the rational-natural man to comprehend that no one's life is self-existent but that it comes to him through an influx of life from the Lord by way of heaven, and the inability of one governed by the senses to comprehend the same. For the latter says his senses tell him and he can plainly see that his life is self-existent and that it is pointless to contradict the evidence of the senses. Let another example be given. The rational-natural man comprehends the existence of a heaven and a hell; but one governed by his senses denies the existence of these because he has no conception of another world purer than the one he sees with his eyes. The rational-natural man comprehends the existence of spirits and angels who are not visible to him; but one governed by the senses cannot comprehend the same, for he imagines that what he cannot see or touch has no existence.

[4] Here is another example. The rational-natural man comprehends that it is the mark of an intelligent being to have ends in view, and with foresight to be directing means towards some final end. When he looks at the natural creation from the point of view of the order of everything, he sees the natural creation as a complex system of means and realizes that an intelligent Supreme Being has given them direction, though to what final end he cannot see unless he becomes spiritual. But a person governed by his senses does not comprehend how anything distinct and separate from the natural creation can exist or how some Being superior to the natural order can do so. He has no notion of what exercising intelligence, exercising wisdom, having ends in view, or giving direction to means may be unless all these activities are being spoken of as natural ones; and when they are spoken of as such, his idea of them is like that of one who is designing a machine. These few examples show what is meant by the interior natural and the exterior natural, and by the powers of the senses being cast aside - not sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch in the body, but the conclusions reached by these about interior matters.
