1 Tiam Jozef jxetis sin sur la vizagxon de sia patro, kaj ploris super li kaj kisis lin.

2 Kaj Jozef ordonis al siaj servantoj kuracistoj, balzami lian patron; kaj la kuracistoj balzamis Izraelon.

3 Kaj pasis super li kvardek tagoj; cxar tiel longe dauxras la tagoj de balzamado. Kaj la Egiptoj ploris pri li sepdek tagojn.

4 Kiam pasis la tagoj de lia priplorado, Jozef ekparolis al la domanoj de Faraono, dirante: Se mi akiris vian favoron, diru al Faraono jene:

5 Mia patro jxurigis min, dirante: Jen mi mortas; en mia tombo, kiun mi elfosis al mi en la lando Kanaana, tie vi min enterigu. Nun mi volus iri, enterigi mian patron, kaj reveni.

6 Kaj Faraono diris: Iru kaj enterigu vian patron, kiel li jxurigis vin.

7 Kaj Jozef iris, por enterigi sian patron; kaj kun li iris cxiuj servantoj de Faraono, la cxefoj de lia domo kaj cxiuj cxefoj de la lando Egipta,

8 kaj la tuta domo de Jozef, kaj liaj fratoj kaj la domo de lia patro; nur siajn infanojn kaj siajn malgrandajn kaj grandajn brutojn ili restigis en la lando Gosxen.

9 Kun ili iris ankaux cxaroj kaj rajdantoj; kaj la anaro estis tre granda.

10 Ili venis al la placo Atad, kiu estas transe de Jordan, kaj ili faris tie grandan kaj fortan priploradon; kaj li funebris pri sia patro dum sep tagoj.

11 Kiam la logxantoj de la lando Kanaana vidis la funebron sur la placo Atad, ili diris: GXi estas granda funebro cxe la Egiptoj; tial la loko ricevis la nomon Abel-Micraim. GXi estas transe de Jordan.

12 Kaj liaj infanoj faris kun li, kiel li ordonis al ili.

13 Kaj liaj filoj forportis lin en la landon Kanaanan, kaj enterigis lin en la kampa duobla kaverno, kiun Abraham acxetis kune kun la kampo kiel tomban posedajxon de el Efron la HXetido, antaux Mamre.

14 Kaj Jozef revenis Egiptujon, li kaj liaj fratoj, kaj cxiuj, kiuj iris kun li, por enterigi lian patron, post kiam ili enterigis lian patron.

15 Kiam la fratoj de Jozef vidis, ke ilia patro mortis, ili diris: Eble Jozef ekmalamos nin, kaj repagos al ni pro la tuta malbono, kiun ni faris al li?

16 Tial ili sendis al Jozef, por diri al li: Via patro ordonis antaux sia morto jene:

17 Tiel diru al Jozef: Mi petas vin, pardonu la kulpon de viaj fratoj kaj ilian pekon, cxar ili faris al vi malbonon. Nun pardonu do la kulpon de la sklavoj de la Dio de via patro. Kaj Jozef ploris, kiam ili parolis al li.

18 Kaj iris liaj fratoj mem kaj jxetis sin teren antaux li, kaj diris: Jen ni estas sklavoj al vi.

19 Sed Jozef diris al ili: Ne timu; cxar cxu mi estas anstataux Dio?

20 Vi intencis fari al mi malbonon; sed Dio arangxis de tio bonon, por fari tiel, kiel nun estas, por konservi la vivon de multe da homoj.

21 Kaj nun ne timu; mi nutros vin kaj viajn infanojn. Kaj li konsolis ilin kaj parolis al ili kore.

22 Kaj Jozef logxis en Egiptujo, li kaj la domo de lia patro; kaj Jozef vivis cent dek jarojn.

23 Kaj Jozef vidis cxe Efraim infanojn gxis la tria generacio; ankaux la infanoj de Mahxir, filo de Manase, naskigxis sur la genuoj de Jozef.

24 Kaj Jozef diris al siaj fratoj: Mi mortas, sed Dio rememoros vin, kaj elkondukos vin el cxi tiu lando en la landon, pri kiu Li jxuris al Abraham, Isaak, kaj Jakob.

25 Kaj Jozef jxurigis la filojn de Izrael, dirante: Kiam Dio rememoros vin, tiam elportu miajn ostojn el cxi tie.

26 Kaj Jozef mortis en la agxo de cent dek jaroj; kaj oni balzamis lin kaj metis lin en cxerkon en Egiptujo.

Exploring the Meaning of Genesis 50

Napsal(a) New Christian Bible Study Staff

Here is an excerpt from Swedenborg's "Arcana Coelestia" that helps explain the inner meaning of this chapter:

AC 6497. After treating of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, by whom in the supreme sense is represented the Lord, this last chapter of Genesis in the internal sense treats of the church--that after the celestial church had perished, a spiritual church was instituted by the Lord. The beginning and progress of this church are described in the internal sense, and at the close of the chapter, its end; and that in its stead the mere representative of a church was instituted among the descendants of Jacob.

6497. Genesis 50

1. And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept on him, and kissed him.

2. And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Israel.

3. And forty days were completed for him, for thus are completed the days of embalming. And the Egyptians wept for him seventy days.

4. And the days of weeping for him passed, and Joseph spoke to Pharaoh's house, saying, If now I have found favour in your eyes, speak, I beg you, in Pharaoh's ears, saying,

5. My father made me swear on oath, saying, Behold, I am dying; in my grave which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan, there you are to bury me. And now let me go up, I beg you, and bury my father, and I will return.

6. And Pharaoh said, Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear on oath.

7. And Joseph went up to bury his father, and there went up with him all Pharaoh's servants, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

8. And the whole house of Joseph, and his brothers, and his father's house; only their young children, and their flocks, and their herds they left behind in the land of Goshen.

9. And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen; and it was an extremely large army. 1

10. And they came to the threshing-floor of Atad, which is at the crossing of the Jordan, and wailed there with great and extremely loud 2 wailing; and he made a mourning for his father seven days.

11. And the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing-floor of Atad, and they said, This is an intense mourning for the Egyptians; therefore they called the name of it Abel Mizraim, which is at the crossing of the Jordan.

12. And his sons did for him thus, as he had commanded them.

13. And his sons carried him to the land of Canaan, and buried him in the had bought with the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham had brought with the field, as a possession for a grave, from Ephron the Hittite - facing Mamre.

14. And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers, and all who went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

15. And Joseph's brothers saw that their father had died, and they said, Perhaps Joseph will hate us and will fully return to us all the evil with which we repaid him.

16. And they gave a command to Joseph, saying, Your father commanded before he died, saying,

17. Thus you are to say to Joseph, I beg you, forgive - I beg you - the transgression of your brothers, and their sin, for the evil with which they repaid you; and now forgive, I beg you, the transgression of the servants of your father's God. And Joseph wept as they spoke to him.

18. And his brothers also went and fell down before him, and said, Behold, we are your slaves.

19. And Joseph said to them, Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?

20. And you thought evil against me; God thought [to turn] it into good, in order to do what is in accord with this day, to bestow life on a great people.

21. And now, do not be afraid; I will sustain you and your young children. And he consoled them and spoke to their heart.

22. And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he and his father's house; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.

23. And Joseph saw Ephraim's sons of the third generation; also the sons of Machir, Manasseh's son, were born on Joseph's knees.

24. And Joseph said to his brothers, I am dying; and God will certainly visit you and cause you to go up out of this land to the land which He swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

25. And Joseph made the children of Israel swear, saying, God will certainly visit you, and you shall cause my bones to go up from here.

26. And Joseph died, a hundred and ten years old; and they embalmed him, and he was put in an ark in Egypt.

CONTENTS

Now that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who in the highest sense represent the Lord, have been dealt with, this final chapter deals in the internal sense with the Church, with the establishment by the Lord of the spiritual Church after the celestial Church had perished. The beginning and the progressive stages of that spiritual Church are described in the internal sense; and at the end of the chapter the end of that Church, when solely a representative of the Church was established among Jacob's descendants, is described.
