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.

5122. 'The three shoots are three days' means continuous derivatives even to the final one. This is clear from the meaning of 'three' as a single period and the continuity of it from start to finish, dealt with in 2788, 4495; from the meaning of 'shoots' as derivatives, dealt with in 5114; and from the meaning of 'days' as states, dealt with in 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788, 3462, 3785, 4850. From all this it follows that 'the three shoots are three days' means the state in which the sensory power represented by 'the cupbearer' undergoes rebirth, from the first to the final degrees of it, its consecutive derivatives being meant by 'shoots'.

[2] The states of rebirth which each sensory power and every aspect of the natural, as well as every aspect of the rational, pass through have from beginning to end their own progressive stages. When they attain any end they also begin at that point something else that is new; that is to say, they pass on from the end they had been striving to attain in a prior state to the realization of some further end, and so on after that. Eventually order is turned around, so that what has been last becomes first. This is what happens when a person is being regenerated, both in the case of his rational and in that of his natural. While his regeneration is taking place the phases that make up the first state are the stages of a movement from the truths of faith towards forms of the good of charity, when the truths of faith seemingly play the leading role while forms of the good of charity play a secondary one; for the truths of faith have the good of charity as their end in view. Phases like these continue until the person's regeneration is completed. Once this is completed charity then moves from the final place to the first in the line, and so becomes the point from which new states begin. These states develop in two directions - in an increasingly inward direction and also in a more outward one. Inwardly they move closer to love to the Lord, while outwardly they move closer first to the truths of faith, then to natural truths, and after that to truths as these are perceived by the senses. Then these three degrees of truths are brought into agreement one after another with forms of the good of charity and love present within the rational and so are brought into heavenly order.

[3] These are the matters that are meant by progressive stages of development and by continuous derivatives even to the final one. Such stages and derivatives are unending in the case of a person who is being regenerated. They begin when he is a young child and continue through to the final phase of his life in the world; indeed they continue for ever after that, though his regeneration can never reach the point when he can by any means be called perfect. For there are countless, indeed a limitless number of things to be regenerated, both within his rational and within his natural. Everything there has limitless shoots, that is, stages of development and derivatives that progress in both inward and outward directions. A person has no immediate awareness at all of this, but the Lord is aware of every particular detail and is making provision for it moment by moment. If He were to stop doing this for a single instant every stage of development would be thrown into confusion. For one stage looks to the next in an unending sequence and produces chains of sequences which never cease. From this it is evident that Divine Foresight and Providence exist in every particular detail, and that if they did not, or did so in a merely overall way, the human race would perish.

Genesis 40

Studie

   

1 It happened after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.

3 He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days.

5 They both dreamed a dream, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.

6 Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and saw that they were sad.

7 He asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?"

8 They said to him, "We have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it." Joseph said to them, "Don't interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me."

9 The chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of me,

10 and in the vine were three branches. It was as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes.

11 Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand."

12 Joseph said to him, "This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.

13 Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head, and restore you to your office. You will give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, the way you did when you were his cupbearer.

14 But remember me when it will be well with you, and please show kindness to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.

15 For indeed, I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon."

16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, "I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head.

17 In the uppermost basket there was all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head."

18 Joseph answered, "This is its interpretation. The three baskets are three days.

19 Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and will hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from off you."

20 It happened the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

21 He restored the chief cupbearer to his position again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand;

22 but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

23 Yet the chief cupbearer didn't remember Joseph, but forgot him.
