Genesis 40

Studie

   

1 Ja pärast seda lugu sündis, et Egiptuse kuninga joogikallaja ja pagar eksisid oma isanda, Egiptuse kuninga vastu.

2 Ja vaarao sai väga kurjaks oma kahe hoovkondlase peale, joogikallajate ülema ja pagarite ülema peale.

3 Ja ta andis nad vahi alla ihukaitsepealiku kotta, vangihoonesse, samasse paika, kus Joosep kinni oli.

4 Ja ihukaitsepealik pani Joosepi nende juurde, et ta neid teeniks; ja nad olid vahi all kaua aega.

5 Ja need mõlemad nägid ühel ööl unenäo, kumbki oma unenäo, kumbki oma tähendusega unenäo, Egiptuse kuninga joogikallaja ja pagar, kes vangihoones kinni olid.

6 Kui Joosep tuli hommikul nende juurde ja nägi neid, vaata, siis olid nad nukra näoga.

7 Ja ta küsis vaarao hoovkondlastelt, kes olid koos temaga vahi all ta isanda kojas, öeldes: 'Mispärast on teil täna nii kurvad näod?'

8 Ja nad vastasid temale: 'Me nägime unenägusid, aga ei ole kedagi, kes need seletaks.' Ja Joosep ütles neile: 'Eks seletused ole Jumala käes? Siiski jutustage mulle!'

9 Ja joogikallajate ülem jutustas oma unenäo Joosepile ning ütles temale: 'Mu unenäos oli nõnda: vaata, mu ees oli viinapuu

10 ja viinapuul oli kolm oksa; see lehistus, õitses ja marjakobarad valmisid;

11 mul oli käes vaarao karikas ja ma võtsin viinamarju ja pigistasin neid vaarao karikasse ja andsin karika vaarao kätte.'

12 Ja Joosep ütles temale: 'Selle seletus on niisugune: kolm oksa on kolm päeva.

13 Enne kui kolm päeva on möödunud, tõstab vaarao su pea üles ja paneb sind tagasi su ametisse ja sa annad vaaraole karikat kätte endist viisi, nagu siis, kui olid ta joogikallaja.

14 Aga pea mind meeles, kui su käsi hästi käib, ja tee mulle siis head ning tuleta mind vaaraole meelde ja vii mind siit hoonest välja,

15 sest mind on vargsel viisil varastatud heebrealaste maalt ja ma pole siingi teinud midagi, et mind vangiurkasse pandaks.'

16 Kui pagarite ülem nägi, et ta oli hästi seletanud, siis ta ütles Joosepile: 'Ka mina nägin und, ja vaata, mu pea kohal oli kolm punutud korvi.

17 Kõige ülemises korvis oli kõiksugust vaaraole valmistatud pagarirooga, aga linnud sõid selle mu peapealsest korvist.'

18 Ja Joosep vastas ning ütles: 'Selle seletus on niisugune: kolm korvi on kolm päeva.

19 Enne kui kolm päeva on möödunud, võtab vaarao sul pea otsast ja poob sind puusse ning linnud söövad liha su pealt.'

20 Ja kolmandal päeval, vaarao sünnipäeval, kui ta tegi kõigile oma sulastele suure peo, sündis, et ta tõstis üles joogikallajate ülema pea, samuti pagarite ülema pea oma sulaste seast,

21 ja pani joogikallajate ülema tema joogikallajaametisse vaaraole karikat kätte ulatama,

22 aga pagarite ülema ta laskis puua, nõnda nagu Joosep neile oli seletanud.

23 Ent joogikallajate ülem ei pidanud Joosepit meeles, vaid unustas tema ära.

5157. And the bird shall eat thy flesh from upon thee. That this signifies that the falsity of evil will consume what is of these sensuous things, is evident from the signification of “eating,” as being to consume (of which above, n. 5149); and from the signification of “bird,” as being falsity (of which also above, n. 5149); and from the signification of “flesh,” as being good (see n. 3812, 3813), and hence in the opposite sense evil; for most of the expressions in the Word have also an opposite sense, which is known from their signification in the genuine sense; and from the signification of “from upon thee,” as being from the sensuous things subject to the will part, for these are represented by the baker (n. 5078, 5082). That these were evil, and therefore to be rejected, is evident from what goes before.

[2] How the case is in regard to this-that the sensuous things subject to the intellectual part, which are represented by the butler, were retained, and that the sensuous things subject to the will part, which are represented by the baker, were rejected-is a secret that without enlightenment cannot be comprehended, but what follows may help to throw light upon it. By sensuous things are meant those memory-knowledges and those delights which have been instilled through the five external or bodily senses into man’s memory and into his desires, and which together constitute the exterior natural, from which a man is called a sensuous man. These memory-knowledges are subject to the intellectual part, but the delights are subject to the will part; the memory-knowledges also bear relation to the truths which are of the understanding, and the delights to the goods which are of the will; the former are what are represented by the butler and were retained, and the latter are what are represented by the baker and were rejected.

[3] The reason why the former were retained is that for a time they could agree with intellectual things; and the reason why the latter were rejected is that they could not possibly agree. For the will part in the Lord (who is the subject here treated of in the supreme internal sense) was Divine from conception, and was the Divine good itself; but the will part that He had by birth from the mother was evil; and therefore this was to be rejected, and in its place a new one was to be procured from the Divine will part by means of the intellectual, or from the Divine good by means of the Divine truth, thus from His own power. This is the secret that is here described in the internal sense.
